TESTIMONIALS What our students say about their experience I discovered Talia's ink painting and calligraphy almost by error. I was at a point in my life when a re-think was necessary and this was an attempt to explore my own creativity instead of responding to a brief for a client. I loved the ambiance of our Saturday morning sessions - the quiet concentration, the classical music and the smell of the Japanese tea! The weight of the brushes, the feel of the fine, transparent paper and the energy that was created as we explored each line or shape we created. I learned to be much kinder to myself and to use the mistakes as an opportunity rather than a depressing disaster. I try to re-create in my own studio on the banks of the Thames, the atmosphere of those morning lessons with that energy, sense of calm and focus the moment. This course is not just about how to paint. It enables us to find our own voice and listen. — Judy H. Artist and graphic designer Tucked away beneath the Tramuntana mountain range lays Talia Lehavi’s home art studio. The setting for a meditative painting course could not be more ideal. I took a left turn onto a dirt road from the main highway. The gate slowly opens, revealing a grove of almond trees and a house perched in the middle. Getting out of the car I am greeted with a large black cat named Sumi-e. The studio is adorned with beautiful works by Talia, and a collection of ink brushes from around the world. I began studying with Talia when I first arrived to Mallorca last summer, and was looking for a creative outlet. My background in Mindfulness and interest in painting seemed like the perfect combination to dive into Japanese Ink Painting. There is so much beauty and elegance in this ancient art, and it continues to amaze me. The smell of essential oils in the natural ink, the delicate hairs on the brush, and the presence and breath each stroke demands. Talia is a true master at her craft, and you can sense a deep knowledge of the art not only through her technical understanding, as well as through her easeful ink strokes. She is a wealth of wisdom when it comes to the history of Japanese ink painting and her passion for the topic is ever present. Coming to class with Talia I have gained so much from hearing her personal experience and journey with ink painting. She has reverence for this art modality, and she shares the small gems ink painting continues to teach her about life. It is an honor to study with a teacher such as Talia who is an embodiment of her craft. She truly lives in congruence with nature, and it is so easy to see this through the beautiful art studio she has created. I highly recommend studying with Talia, whether you are looking for in depth knowledge of ink painting, or a creative outlet. Her ability to dance between the technical and the creative flow is a testament to ink painting itself. Learning how to find your voice within the structure of this ancient art. —Julia N. Meditation facilitator and writer Talia’s Japanese ink workshop was a wonderful experience, and I was able to learn a great deal about sumi-e painting in a short amount of time. Talia is extremely knowledgeable about her subject, and not only guided me through various techniques of sumi-e painting, building from one skill to another, but also provided in-depth explanations of the historical development of sumi-e, including the importation of calligraphy from China, the relationship of the art form to Buddhism, and discussion of Japanese masters of the art from. Talia’s studio is a clean and inviting space in a beautiful rural setting, surrounded by almond trees and a beautiful view of the stunning twin peaks the Puig d’Alaró and the Puig de s’Alcadena, part of the Tramuntana mountain range. Just a wonderful place to immerse oneself in painting. Talia provided all the needed supplies, as well as tasty snacks during our daily break. I am grateful to have had this opportunity. — Richard D. - Artist and head teacher of Art dept. N. Carolina A whole new world has opened up for me, one that I would not be without. Talia's classes are so engrossing and interesting - At every level the time is enjoyable. I've been coming for some time now and it has become an essential part of my week. Always something new, so much to learn. And the delightful company of other students. Wonderful! — Jenny A delightful painter's studio with the right vibe for practising the ancient art of Japanese brushstrokes: inspiring music, the aroma of green tea light coming in from the garden and bamboo leaves moving in the wind. I enjoyed the hours spent in the studio painting and sharing with Talia and the other participants our appreciation of Japanese art and philosophy. — Emanuela R. Artist Hi, I absolutely loved this class. I am a complete beginner but learned so much in one lesson thanks to a really talented and patient teacher. Thank you so much! — Sarah J. I have been learning Japanese Ink Painting (Suibokuga) and Calligraphy from Talia for a few years. She is a wonderful teacher, with a vast knowledge and understanding of the subject and its history. The art form itself is very relaxing and meditative. I find that the black ink used allows me to focus and reflect on the calligraphy or shape without worrying about colours. It has taught me to focus on the essential and discard anything unnecessary. This art form constantly challenges me and opens up my mind to new ways of thinking and perception. Practising ink painting always makes me feel connected with myself. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wishes to take a break from the daily stress and learn to create some magic with brush, paper and ink. — Raji , Business Analyst Talia's studio is a place of peace and tranquility, where I learn about how to use Japanese ink brush stroke and make my very own ink painting. I find the practice demand discipline and encourage self listening and focus. It is a step by step journey into one of the most ancient painting practice. Wonderful. — Sarah טליה מורה נהדרת, מקסימה! מתאימה בכל דרכה ומעשיה, לשאת בשליחותה המיוחדת, להביא את תרבותה של יפן, עיקריה ועולמה המיוחד. טליה אישה עדינה, מורה ואמנית מפוארת בפני עצמה, ומביאה זאת בהצלחה לתלמידיה חניכיה. יודעת גם לדרוש משמעת ומביאה איתה חומרים מגוונים, הנלווים לתרבות היפנית. יחד עם הציור, חשוב ונהדר שטליה גם מלמדת את הקליגרפיה היפנית. כך טליה שומרת ונותנת לנו, רמה גבוהה ותחושות תענוג וגאווה, להתבגר ולהיות בין תלמידותיה ותלמידיה! תודה ענקית לך טליה! — שולה ודני זמיר (אמנית ומורה) Thank you Talia for a wonderful introduction to Japanese ink painting for our home education group. It was enjoyed by all and gave us a great appreciation of the skill involved in creating your artworks. Lots of the participants are intending to continue to practice. — Hannah Douglass Home Education Group I’ve had a love for Japanese culture all my life, and after practising the sword related arts for over 40 years I promised myself I would learn to paint in the traditional Japanese style. Talia has studied in Japan and is teaching us the physical and mental concepts of the painting art. Exactly what I was looking for. I fully recommend the courses if you want more than just a superficial explanation of the art. — Paul G. It was an absolute pleasure for me to join Talia's class.

A wonderful art form, which is both creative and calming. A great day. — Jackie C. Art teacher I really enjoyed the amazing Japanese Ink Panting course.

And look forward to attending more workshops. It is a beautiful art form, that is timeless. It is the nearest from of art to nature. It's mediation in motion, with stunning results. — Jackie C.

Artist The best present I could give me self. Thanks to Talia I have found a new passion. I loved her classes and can't wait until the next time she will come to teach. I came to learn the technique and to use it on ceramic pieces which I make. I am very happy with the results. Thank You, Talia for your knowledge, patience and very informative, relaxed and quiet classes. I will be back. — Laurie S. Ceramist Talia ran a fabulous course, which I very much enjoyed and thought of as a real discovery. The course was well structured and paced, giving space for exploration of what had been demonstrated and learned. The atmosphere was very friendly and encouraging. I would recommend the course strongly to anybody who wishes to link peace of mind with the movement of mark making. An extra benefit is the painting emerging at the end of the lesson, paying visible testimony to what is an extraordinary process and journey. — Cornelia E. I have always admired the simplicity and elegance of Japanese ink painting but after taking a course on the subject with Talia LeHavi, my appreciation of the artform and my respect for the artists who produce it has grown immeasurably. Over a period of four weeks in March 2018, Talia taught us the fundamental techniques of calligraphy and painting the bamboo, wild orchids, chrysanthemum and plum blossom. The step-by-step approach of demonstrating the brushstrokes first, then letting us practice with Talia’s guidance, worked admirably well. We were given plenty of feedback and encouragement by the ever-patient Talia. At the end of each class, we each produced a finished painting to take home. The course was both enjoyable and a great learning experience. Thank you, Talia! — Sibel RW. טליה יקרה תודה על הידע הרב והקורס השופע ומלא עניין — איילת אדיב The course content was Landscapes, but my primary aim was to improve the range of my brush strokes using a wider variety of subjects. Talia has such mastery of the brush and explains the techniques with patience and encouragement. Complementing the varied landscapes, rocks, trees, water and waterfalls, we also practised the bold strokes of the subject calligraphy. Mission accomplished. — Paul G. I had been looking for a course to learn Japanese ink and watercolour so Talia's course looked exactly right. Having just finished the course, I'm extremely pleased that I took it as it delivered exactly what I was looking for. Talia created a perfect environment for learning and her teaching method was great. As a result I made significant progress in only one course! I'm very grateful!

Ink Dragons painting by Talia Lehavi. Protective, funny and hidden dragons. < Back Ink Dragons Ink marks are but notes in time, echo of a moment passing by. This art-form is both ancient in its Chinese and Japanese origin as well as contemporary and universal in expression and practice. Guardians of the Way (Tao), Champions of those who persist and don't give up, vehicles of the immortals who live on this plain carrying the wisdom of the ages, are but some of the roles which dragons are portrayed in. Mischievous, playful and powerful beings, dragons are known to be shape shifters. Able to grow and shrink in size in an instant, appear and disappear at will, while using water, mist, clouds and rain as their place of dwelling. One famous story, tells of a time of great drought in Japan, when a well known artist was called to help.. he painted a dragon amongst clouds.. the painting was so fantastic, that when the artist have finished it, by making a black dot for the eye as his last ink-mark, the dragon came to life, flew off the paper, and on to the sky... clouds began forming up, and soon after, rain was coming down. shop this gallery
