@Cyril Jayant Thank you for sharing examples of your practice -- it is not “crappy!” Today it really inspired me to remember that everyone must dedicate time and effort to their practice. As a beginner, I have often become frustrated by my lack of progress. It is especially difficult when seeing beautiful writing on this forum and “perfect” exemplars in instruction books to feel like maybe I am somehow just not “cut out” for this.
I have seen many of your previous posts where you have mentioned hard work, long process or slow progress. But then you have such a GREAT ATTITUDE about not giving up and being enthusiastic even after falling down! Your positivity is admirable and just what I needed today to keep up the good fight.
I sincerely appreciate your contributions to this forum!
With gratitude and thanks,
Karl
Hi Karl,
Thank you and I appreciate your thoughts.
I am sure you are also very enthusiastic on calligraphy learning.
Yes it is a long process and just like in every passion it has too soft spots and many ups and downs. All you need is be very observant and keep to your practice.
As this skill is never be on a perfect level as it is long journey on the rabbit hole, all you have to learn is to how to be impressed by your own past steps and enjoy and celebrate all progress you have already made. Then you have always room to move forward and be far more better.
By the way When I said "CRAPPY WORK "... That means my work on Crappy paper and the writing on cheap papers..
Thank you for your kind words and `regards,
Cyril.
