Learn Calligraphy & Brush Painting

Many artists we talk to say the process of grinding the ink is like meditation; it takes time but it also gives them time to think and calm their mind. The repetitious movement gradually takes the mind away from ordinary, daily distractions and clears the mind. Also, the ready-made ink is consistently black, somehow too perfect. The ground ink has gradients that give the calligraphy or brush stroke more character. That is what the art is about. The process and the unique result. Slow, imperfect, and yet totally human. Art.
