Chinese Calligraphy (shūfǎ) is very much at the heart of Chinese Culture and, therefore, the root of Chinese Brush Painting. It is worth investing time to study this art form, in and of itself, in order to improve your Chinese Brush painting technique. To aid this, a Calligraphy resource on texts is available on this link.
Please note that, as above, we aim to provide the pinyin in brackets, as well as any tone markings, alongside any Chinese characters so that you are able to say the character as well as write it e.g. the character for the number 1 (yī).
