Painting "Calligraphy"

Calligraphy is the art of the Chinese people. According to their beliefs, Chinese characters bring happiness, luck and love. In order to start making such a picture on your own, you need to think only about the best, because in the process of creation it is like meditation.
So, for the picture you will need the image of the character itself, black paints or ink, a brush, a canvas no larger than A3 and 4 plates in size (they will be shown in the photo below; in our case they are from bamboo).
The first thing to do is prepare the canvas (we use a slightly embossed canvas, which is what the Chinese enlighteners use).

Having prepared the canvas, you need to print your favorite character (in our case, this is an ancient character meaning "love").

You can make a stencil from such a hieroglyph, attach it to the canvas, and then apply paint, but in our case we transfer the hieroglyph in another way - by redrawing it with a pen. You can draw a sketch with a pencil, or you can improvise, apply it in one motion (preliminarily trained on plain paper).
After redrawing the character, prepare black paint (gouache) or ink and a brush. It is better to use a natural brush.

After redrawing the character, apply paint on top. Make this process meditative, put in it all the brightest feelings. And in the end you will get a beautiful picture.
After you have already drawn the hieroglyph, you need to make a frame so that it takes a beautiful view, and it can be placed on the wall.
We use bamboo boards for the frame, which we will stick to the canvas.

You can use another type of plank, which will be located on the sides of the canvas, but we took just bamboo, because We believe that they are most suitable for Chinese art. These boards need 4 pieces. Their size is determined by you, based on the size of the canvas. An example you can see in the final photo below.

Our picture is ready. This is the end result. Such canvases perfectly complement the design of the room and bring good luck.
