Looking for professional advanced level online courses
I’m looking for an online course (in English/ German or Spanish) for a semi-advanced level. Online you can find a lot but mostly for beginners and honestly most of them you can tell by their portfolios that the teachers are not so professional or lack of technical skills in their strokes, etc.
I found many interesting online courses in Russian, and in YouTube you can also find a lot of cool videos but mostly in Chinese or corean.
So I was wondering if maybe someone in this community could recommend a professional online course in any of the languages I speak.
Im also interested in calligraphy courses.
Any tip will be very appreciated.
PS: I already checked in the list of teachers registered in this website, but I didn’t find what I’m looking for.

About Inkston
I have been using Inkston for the past few months and I must say the overall service is excellent. I receive the products ordered in roughly the expected time, i.e. about two months or a bit less (I live in Milan, Italy). People are always available for any query that you receive immediately or in less than 24 Hrs.
I have ordered some liquid paints in glass jars that I have started using and they seem fine. They are loaded with pigments and you need very little to get the right hue and intensity. One jar out of ten leaked because of airplane pressure variation, but they promptly gave me a refund.
I’d strongly suggest Inksone both for the quality of their products and their service.

Format for poetry in Calligraphy?
Is there a classic, “standard” way to do a calligraphy piece that uses either a whole poem or a few line(s) of a poem?
Some poems are so famous that I suppose a line or two quoted need not even be cited on the piece. Much of the calligraphy I’ve seen from history uses one of the two general following formats:
- The title and author name of the poetry is the first vertical line on the right, followed going to left the poem (or quoted lines) themselves, then the calligrapher’s name and seal in the last vertical line.
- The poem or lines from the poem are arranged vertically, right to left, then the author of the poem is shown, and below that is the calligrapher’s name, seal and sometimes date.
Does anyone know of a generally accepted format for doing this kind of quote in calligraphy? I know that if I’m doing this for myself it could be a lot of different ways, but I like tradition. : )
Thanks for any advice or if there is information elsewhere online/internet.

Highly visible drying marks/grid/lattice?
Hi all, im looking to get some unsized xuan paper with the drying grid marks/ lattice shape being highly visible. It’s an aesthetic choice for Sumi paper I really like and have run out of sadly. Could Inkston or fellow customers/painters point me in the right direction? I’m also a fan of the half cut paper size, approx 136cm x 35cm. Many thanks, and happy new year!

Reply To: Cleaning inkstone
The inkstones we use are round and its sometimes really difficult to get the ink out of the corners, especially if the ink has dried up from previous usage.
Can you like soak the inkstone in case you can’t get rid of all the dried up ink? You can’t use that inkstone-cleaner for a round inkstone right?
With all the shared good advice and cautions by others in mind, I can only add that: yes, you can use Inkston’s inkstone cleaner on an inkstone of any shape and size to reach and clean every nook, cranny, edge and crevice. It’s a question of how [to do that] — and also by being mindful of the do’s and don’ts that have been mentioned by the seniors in this community (seniors in knowledge and experience, not age).
That said, first: you’d need to scrape enough fine, dry powder from the mud block. I use the dull edges of a letter opener to scrape the surface and corners of the mud block until I have enough powder to clean with. Second: use a good quality kneaded rubber eraser, which you can tear and shape into any form you wish. The kneaded rubber remains very pliable during the cleaning process — it can be re-shaped without much effort for it to reach every nook and cranny, if needed.
Anyway, I think pictures would speak the idea better (see attached). Again, everything above is said with all the advice and cautions already given by the seniors in this community. A very light touch is always better, albeit it’d take longer to clean/reopen the stone, than to be heavy-handed to save time (and cause damage).
Hope the attached pictures help explain better.
Happy New Year 2021!

Seals done with Japanese Kanji?
Hello, I am looking to get a square or rectangular seal made with my Chinese zodiac, Metal Horse. I am interested in having it done as Tetsu Uma, “Iron Horse”, in kanji, as 鉄馬. Using Google translate app, I find that the same characters mean “Zhí mǎ” in Chinese, but the english meaning remains the same. Is this correct? Would the seal carvers at Inkston be able to accommodate such a request?
Thank you for your time.
