Description
Hello and welcome to our free course of calligraphy!
This course contains all my best wishes to you in the year 2021-2022-2023!
The years 2020-2022 perhaps has been difficult to a lot of us, but in the years to come, I would like to wish you all great happiness and teach you to write the character "happiness" in 5 major calligraphy styles, so that you can write your own happiness, and you can receive and spread the love to everybody around you. The character "happiness" is "福" in Chinese, it is pronounced "Fu". Let's start our new year together and strong!
In this course, we will first discuss the composition of the character "happiness", and after practicing them in 5 main scripts, seal script, official script, regular script, cursive script and semi-cursive script. These five scripts are written mainly in their order of appearance in history. We will first practice them, and then write them down on nice presentation papers.
Material: A medium-large sized brush, some rice paper, and ink. It is best if you have rice paper (Xuan raw rice paper, 宣纸) because it allows in ink in a nice way. The ink can be either liquid or ink blocks. If you do not even own a brush, feel free to be creative anyway :)
All the best wishes,
Fiona

Fiona Sheng @ InkDifferent Studio
Tradtional Chinese Painting & Calligraphy Instructor
Hi there, I am an English speaking (fluent) traditional Chinese artist who has been trained in these arts since the age of 5. Now living in Europe, I find it aspiring to share my knowledge with you, especially if you are seeking to relax your mind in an alternative way.
The courses will contain plenty of detailed practical traditional painting / calligraphy techniques that will help you form a solid base, develop your skills or master these arts. In my courses, there will also be useful information in terms of cultural relevance. Additionally, thanks to my two Master's studies and business school work experience, there will occasionally be useful content related to the Chinese business culture from an international perspective.
If you are an old friend of the Chinese art, welcome to join our art family; if you are a future friend, why not have a try at it with me? Look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Fiona

High-quality and interesting course. Very helpful for people who are interested in Chinese calligraphy, just like me. I have learned five major writing styles of happiness, also know some kinds of writing materials after the course. And I am considering buying paid courses now! Perhaps I could finish a perfect Chinese painting one day. Look forward more courses. Happy new year^^
