So, in class I moved on from my little booklet and pen (I still use it at home though), to a brush pen and some water. In this booklet, you are supposed to use a brush pen intended for Chinese calligraphy and use water to trace over the water, this way the water dries and you can keep practicing.

On to my experience with them…

In short, it’s difficult. I feel like some of  my strokes aren’t correct. At the end of many strokes I’m supposed to bring the brush back a little bit, but whenever I try the stroke doesn’t look good. However, I feel that towards the end of the session some words actually looked relatively good.

I guess all I can really do is practice and maybe watch some videos to help me with technique.
