I hopped on the train and did some Ariana Griande fanart! I gave them a somewhat alt appearance since I feel like they would collect all sorts of bits and bobs. Not pictured here are chicken socks.

culture tips for writing asian settings: calligraphy (pt i)

i love chinese calligraphy, to me it is just so gorgeous and i've dedicated a few scenes of my own fics to it, so here are just a few quick 'n' dirty calligraphy tips:

the calligraphy scene in sokka's master (illustrated by korean animators!) is a pretty good depiction tbh. you write using a brush (the brushes can be hung up on a stand too)—it can be jarring to see fics mention quills or parchment. one excellent detail from the show is that sokka, who seems left-handed, has to write with his right hand—the left hand holds the sleeve out of the way. the ink is not liquid/bottled, but is in a solid stick form and has to be ground on an inkstone mixed with water

traditionally, chinese text is written downwards, and goes from right to left across the page.

as with any other form of calligraphy, chinese calligraphy emphasises beauty of form over legibility—in the same way you wouldn't really consider times new roman font 'calligraphy'. there are different types of script in chinese, and for someone like piandao to master them is a reflection of his education and gentility. the semi-cursive below i see quite commonly in calligraphy:

then you might have something like the cursive below is quite technical but seriously hard to read

contrast that with something like this seal script, harking back to an older era of chinese script:

any calligrapher worth their salt will be putting their stamp on the work, quite literally! name seals, also called "chops", are carved out of stone; ink it up with cinnabar paste and stamp it onto your artwork to get that iconic red signature. (i got one made a couple of years ago and there's a trick to stamping: breathe on the stamp surface after dipping in the paste to warm up the pigment, and when stamping put some circular pressure on the stone to get the print to come out evenly)

i'm going to do a second part focusing a bit more on scripts from the atla world, so keep your eyes peeled...

Stellaria media, or chickweed, is often considered a nuisance or just something to throw to the chickens when found outside of its native habitat (Eurasia).

WELL I’m here to tell you that you are missing out on this actually delicious plant. It’s one of my favorite spring greens to eat raw. I pile it on top of sandwiches and use it in salads. It tastes like oak leaf lettuce with a dash of sweetness similar to corn.

Think about this FREE salad ingredient next time you’re looking at a $3 bag of wilty spring mix

#stellaria media #chickweed #plantblr #eat the weeds #foraging #edible plants #you can find it in gardens and farmland most often #or any disturbed soil with some richness going on #i took this photo yesterday morning so she's OUT THERE #at least in the northeastern us #caryophyllaceae #food plants #los plantalones #farmland

Thinking about how some people will never know that most original paintings are looking so different from their photographs on the internet.

Like this here for example. It is "Paysage au pin" by Berthe Brincour and the only photograph I could find on the internet.

And this here below is the original that I photographed with my phone at a museum in Luxembourg last year.

You can't even see the brush strokes in the first one! If you zoom into my photo you can see the direction she went with the brushes and how it all looks like a gorgeous lively mosaic. The entire charm, everything that makes this piece feel so alive to me, gets lost in the first photo.

I don't know where I am going with this. If you do traditional art yourself and you photograph it, just know that there will be people like me that will go absolutely bonkers if they can spot your brush strokes and "imperfections" and what have you. Being able to see where someone put the brush, is literally so magical. The painting is alive to me. There is such beauty in that.

Also check out museums and art exhibits if you get the chance. You will gain even more appreciation for the paintings you know and love and find new favorites too.

#i talk sometimes #art #Paysage au pin #Berthe Brincour #went thru some photos of art i took a while ago and it makes me wanna do traditional art again hhhh #i need more free time i gotta get out the acrylics
