Awesome video! I want to buy some brushes to start practicing kanji calligraphy. And don't want to mess up the brush. I've been using pentel brushes which are great but its time to step it up. I also want to try out ink sticks. Looks so soothing. I also want to use the brush for Hangul.

This was very nice. When the brushes have been used enough that they become too open haired when dry and "dead" when wet can you stiffen them with a weak cornstarch or rice starch mix?

Thanks, I have sumi ink and indi inks. Are there differences in brush cleanup using these two inks? There seems to be a wider range of colored inks for India Inks. However=. I have been told that India Inks destroys brushes because the soot binds together making the brush unusable , do Sui Inks do the same to brushes over the long term? For sample I have a Princeton Neptune 6, Black Velvet 3/4 Oval, Princeton Neptune 1/2 and Da Vinci CasaNeo , these brushes are quite soft, I was wondering if Sumi Ink can be used with them. and also if you have any experience using India Ink with brushes and your thoughts? Thanks

when u make a painting, mix the ink from scratch (
