Artist & Writer Usually I would prefer a direct teaching with Talia, but these days as we are Corona isolated, there is nothing like the simplicity of painting with Talia's instructions. To dive into the ink and colour, is the best anti-Corona medicine. Especially when painting purple-lilac Wisteria, with its healing properties, connecting me to a better World. Having sent my practice to Talia, her personal responses are ever so encouraging and inspiring. Highly recommended. — Tamar S.

Known as 'the four treasures ' , these carry a long tradition of craftsmanship in their own right and their quality varies from a simple student's kit to a highly-prized, collectible, hand-made sets. Paper is made of various percentages of kozo fiber (made from the bark of mulberry bush). It can vary in thickness, shade and size. The brush, made of natural animal hair, varies in hardness, size and shape. The ink stick, known as sumi, is made out of soot or coal dust, traditionally mixed with essential oils and natural glue to form a solid stick. This black solid ink has a range of shades of black and a variety of translucency. The ink-stone, known as suzuri, is traditionally made out of slate, which has a rough surface upon which to grind the ink.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
