Surfaces for Calligraphy

Surfaces for calligraphy refer to the materials on which you create your artwork. These include papers, boards, or other substrates that vary in texture, color, and thickness. The choice of surface impacts ink absorption, line quality, and overall appearance of the calligraphy. Smooth surfaces like glossy paper or treated boards allow for clean, crisp lines, while textured papers can add character and depth. Selecting the appropriate surface depends on the desired effect and the type of ink or pen used. Properly prepared surfaces ensure better control, durability, and a polished final piece.
