Many thanks for such a detailed video. This is good for beginners. All items in the box set are beautiful. I couldn't make out what the brush holder was until I watched the video. Best,
@Sanpitsu Many times beginners want to apply many seals on their calligraphy or CBP work but do not know that the basic types of Chinese seals such as Leading Seals used in the beginning, Corner Seals for connecting, Name Seals for siging, and Mood Seals for expression of poetry. Sometimes by stamping those seals together without considering the content of the calligraphy and CBP and the "related" meanings of each seal and other factors can cause contradictory and immature results.
I hope that you could make someday one or two videos explaining thoroughly about chinese seals applications. I think nobody have done one yet in english. Thank you for uploading this video.
@Sanpitsu Thank you for suggestion. The norms of applying Chinese seals have few publications in Chinese texts, and they are rarely mentioned in non-Chinese texts. The scholars, literati, and connoisseurs follow these norms if the work is tradtional Chinese calligraphy and traditional Chinese brush painting. The norms can be complex and not quite the same between different people... this making them difficult to follow.
@Sanpitsu These norms may be found by Google Refined Search of 落款用印規則. The "rules" are not absolute and may be different between different artists, but there are indeed some taboos we should avoid, such as dating and signing your name (followed by your name seal) above the recipient's name or using irregular shapes (other than rectangle or square) of seal stones to carve your names... IMHO, I am not an expert and I don't want to make any specific proclaims that might be incorrect or misleading.
@artvirtue Thank you for the response. I think that what you wrote is a good start for anyone interested on this matter. I will look at the link you posted below. Regards.
Room temperature water. After the brush has been prepared and dried, don’t dip it back into water. Instead, grind the ink and directly put it into the ink and let it soak up 5e ink until it becomes flexible, wet, and useable. Otherwise, the ink will be diluted. That was a mistake I made for years haha

I got the paint set today! How many scoops of water do you need to put in?
Why not use ready use ink.
3 is alresdy good add 3 more if needed
I bought a box set similar to this, but i didn't really understand how to use it properly. Thanks for sharing this video. 😊
They are a seal chop and seal paste.
what is the red stuff used for?
Seal paste.
In tradition Chinese calligraphy do you have to seal the work or can you just leave it as it is
Both are acceptable.
A high quality seal (seals) adds artistic enhancement to your calligraphy.
