Thread: painting kanji

does somebody here has tryed to paint a kanjis or kana by hand? Which tools did you using, if yes? I got a brush and solid ink in some Chinese shop...but i`m not sure how to use it... The ink is pretty hard dissolving in the water

Here is my first attempt:


(Yeah I know it`s kana, not kanji )

only with a felt-tip marker on a whiteboard
I saw an interesting tool in a Chinese shop once: it was a white plastic board, and you could write on it with a wet brush, it produced quite nice black color, disappearing after a couple minutes. Should be a good thing to practice Kanji

I think it's a nice first attempt, MOG-san would be more qualified to judge that though. One thing -- I think you got the last character on the right wrong.

yeah, i guess such board is cool... BTW i have used markers too, while learning kana. But if i could mastering brush and ink, i will paint large poster of A4 size, and will hang it on the wall in my room

It is the same one that we use. It is pretty hard. I didn't like it when I practiced it in elementary school

А зачем на кистях нужна петелька? (for which purpose where is a stitch at the brush end?)

I don't know, sorry

такое петельки кажется на хорошие кисти делают, а хорошие кисти ухода требую и часто их хранят в висячем положении (если ими часто пользуются; иначе помыли, высушили и в коробочку на полку). Особенно это удобно когда кистей несколько, чтобы в кучу не валились и всегда под рукой.

А в школе нам учили, что нельзя ее помыть, а то она трескается, и край кисти рассыпается, поэтому писать красиво будет невозможно. Не знаю, это правда или нет.
