The size is 35 x 23 cm and it’s painted on Xuan-paper with just ink, made from a Japanese inkstick. The ink is still wet. The  brush I’ve used is Inkston Initial 3. For the background I’ve used a hake brush. #豬Painting

Reply To: I found some videos about the production of various painting materials

These are indeed very interesting videos ! Thank you for sharing

There are more good video’s on Youtube, but you have to really dig deep for them. Plus most of them  are in Chinese without any English translations or subtitles. Here are some more :

Calligraphy style for beginners

Hi All, I would like to ask you a question about calligraphy styles. I am a more or less a beginner who has learnt the little he knows so far from books and video sources, not having the time to regularly attend calligraphy courses (too sad…). Nonetheless, I practice over and over again as soon as I have the chance to. Often I happen to read about the importance for beginners to practice the styles of Yan Zhenqing or Liu Gongquan because of the proportions and harmony of composition they are able to teach you. What do you think about this? To be honest, I have tried to copy the style of Chu Suiliang and I definitely have the impression of being by far more apt to it, since I usually get very disappointed with my attempts at Yan or Liu styles…

Any tips/ideas/suggestions?

Thank you!!

Inkston 作品用朱膘印泥 Top Grade Professional Cinnabar Red Seal Paste 50g





Product Link: https://www.inkston.com/shop/inks/seal-paste/top-cinnabar-red-seal-paste-50g/



Brand
 Jiang SiXu Workshop is the most prestigious natural mineral colour workshop in China, and a China “Time-Honoured Brand” providing the highest grade Chinese natural mineral colours for professionals for over 350 years.
Materials


 Cinnabar or Vermillion is the naturally occurring mineral mercury sulphide (HgS). Inorganic mercury such as the mercury found in cinnabar is the least toxic form of mercury and has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine, ancient Roman makeup, Hindu Bindi forehead marking and Sindoor hair marking but should still be considered toxic and handled with care, especially in powder form.  The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention states:
Inorganic Mercury: When eaten in large amounts, some inorganic mercury compounds can be very irritating and corrosive to the digestive system. If repeatedly eaten or applied to the skin over long period of time, some inorganic mercury compounds can cause effects similar to what is seen with long term mercury vapor exposure, including neurological disturbances, memory problems, skin rash, and kidney abnormalities.
There is uncertainty about how poisonous cinnabar is and about the amount required to produce dangerous effects. Scientists generally recommend that we limit our exposure to all mercury compounds, however, including inorganic mercury.
People using cinnabar are warned not to inhale cinnabar dust and to be very careful when breaking the mineral in case dust is created. The mineral mustn’t be ingested or licked. In addition, it mustn’t be heated, which might trigger mercury vapor release. Opinions are divided about whether cinnabar is safe to touch. Mercury (ll) sulfide can be absorbed through the skin, but how much is actually absorbed from a lump of cinnabar mineral is unknown. Since there are unanswered questions about the mineral’s safety, it’s best to wear gloves when handling it.

Practice Blank Painting Mat

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This is a very helpful tool for you to practice Chinese painting strokes. The mat is made with fine silk, natural wood, and fine special material. The special practice layer is mounted in a silk roll.

How it works? 

Use clean water to paint with brush. Once the mat is dry, the painting you did will disappear and you can reuse the mat again.

You can see more details in this video clip on inkston youtube channel:
