Question:

I am interested to learn about Chinese Calligraphy. Can you help me?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I've learnt it for 7 years and have yet mastered it. Do you know how to write chinese character? Else it's difficult to start learning to write using a brush straight away. It's important to know the sequence of strokes in a character and the force with which you have to apply the brush when writing. If you don't know how to write chinese characters with a pen, i suggest you practise with it first before proceeding to a brush.

And you need loads and loads of patience.

The link below is really good. It even has the numbers telling you which stroke you are supposed to start with. As well as the meaning of the word you are writing.
