The mixed hairs calligraphy brush
The mixed hair brushes are a
special category. They are used very much in sumi painting.
These calligraphy brushes are made from different types of
animal hair, and combine brown and white hairs. The stiff brown
hairs from the inner core of the brush are used for their
resilient quality, while the outer white hairs ensure the
suppleness of the brush tip.
A
calligraphy brush looks simple, but once the Chinese brush or
Japanese brush starts to move its tip, its expression reaches beyond
the limits of the paper. The play of the calligrapher with the
calligraphy brush is often compared to the dance of a ballerina.
Just like a ballerina
moves the body to perform the choreography, the calligrapher
maneuvers the calligraphy brush to shape infinity of calligraphic
forms.
The
calligraphy brush goes up, goes down, it bends; with more pressure it
spreads, with less it regains its shape, and for each movement the
calligrapher has to have the calligraphy brush under control and be able
to return to a straightened brush tip. For this the artist needs a
supple and resilient brush, as only such a tool can respond quickly and
unfailingly to the subtle commands of her/his hand, and perform a
flawless dance of interplaying brush movements.
