Materials
Bamboo Light & fast growing Bamboo is used as a construction material, as food, to make paper, to make stems for brushes, and as a traditional subject for painting.
Marten Hair used for 貂毫 Diao Hao brush, the marten hair is sharp but very soft so when you use it with ink the effect is elegant, clean and sophisticated.
At it’s best, this brush is wonderful for very small cursive …
I wanted to see how a brush of this size and unusual length would work with cursive calligraphy. At it’s best, this brush is wonderful for very small cursive characters. The stiffness works nicely and is responsive. It’s more of a challenge to get a much thicker line since using the brush up higher in the bristles tends to spread the thick hairs and lets in dry spaces. However, this is expected in a brush styled like this and can make for interesting variety in strokes. I am using this brush primarily for signatures on calligraphy work and for small character cursive. Excellent construction and quality.
I just purchased this Diao Hao Marten brush through Amazon USA. I am thrilled with it. The long bristles have a lovely spring to them, the point is very well made and stays sharp. I also find that the width of the handle is just right for manipulating strokes. I bought this brush to use for cursive and semi-cursive and am very happy. Thanks Inkston!
Super Qualität
Der Pinsel an sich ist optisch schon sehr schön. Die Haarqualität ist wieder vorbildlich. Es fallen wenige Haare des Pinsels aus und er bildet zum malen eine schöne spitze Form wenn er nass ist. (lediglich beim vorbereiten des Pinsels hat er 2-3 Haare verloren)
Realmente tiene una muy buena pinta. De agradecer las muestras de diversos papeles Xuan con incrustaciones de flores y hojas. Alta gama. Deseando probarlo.
