MEGREZ 4 PCS No Ink Chinese Calligraphy Set, Water Writing Cloth Calligraphy Come with Blank Grid Magic Cloth 31.5 x 14.9 in, Brush Pen, Water Dish, Calligraphy Copy for Beginners Practice,

This mat is not only astatically pleasing, but super fun to use practicing calligraphy. I have another set that has the characters on it, that one takes several minutes to dry. Which if you write about 5 characters the first character is already almost dry. I put a lot of water on it to see how fast a big blotch would take to dry and it was about 12 minutes max. But that was a lot of water. The materials are exceptional. And for the price, you can't beat this product if your looking to practice at any time. It's also decent travel size so if your looking for something to save storage space and also be able to do this in a car or something it's not that bad. The firmness if you don't roll it out all the way and have it horizontally on your lap you could draw for a while. I'm really glad I purchased this product. It's a great tool for people learning other languages and the art of Calligraphy of any kind.
