Expression by the sea: an Impressionist-Inspired art workshop on the beach. Breathwork and art by the ocean.
Take a pause by the ocean. Watch the waves, feel the breeze and let yourself create.
This is a relaxed, outdoor art class inspired by the Impressionists, who painted in the open air to capture the shifting light and movement of life around them. But this isn’t about becoming an Impressionist – this is about expression. Letting the sea, the sky, the people and your own emotions flow onto paper in your unique way.
We’ll begin with 15–20 minutes of Pranayama---ancient Indian breathing techniques that help calm the mind, relax the body and open you up to deeper observation. This gentle breathwork practice will ground us before we begin painting.
Afterwards, we’ll have a short introduction to Impressionism and how I use expression in my art practice. Then you’ll find your spot by the beach (on the sand or in the grass) and start creating. I’ll be painting alongside you and am happy to offer guidance with technique if you’d like, but the space is yours to explore freely.
It’s not about getting things “right.” It’s about being present, enjoying the moment, and letting your art capture it.
Sessions will take place by the beach, Scarborough.
In case of bad weather, the session will be rescheduled. If you can’t make the new date, you’re welcome to join any upcoming session.

Hi, I’m Riya — an artist, a curious soul, and someone who’s always exploring different corners of life — from agriculture and business to books, ideas, and emotions. But one thing that’s always stayed close to me is art. I’m self-taught — guided not by formal rules, but by instinct, feeling, and the need to express. Art came into my life quietly and never really left.
For me, art is more than a skill — it’s a way of being. It’s how I process, how I heal, and how I speak when words fall short. When I’m overwhelmed, confused, or even angry — I create. And in that space, things begin to make sense again. Art has taught me that you don’t always need language to connect — you just need honesty. I love how everyone sees something different in a piece, something personal. That quiet exchange is what moves me.
Alongside creating, I’ve also taught art — mostly online, with kids. It was fun, playful, and reminded me how natural creativity is when it’s not boxed in. Teaching made me want to explore more, and offer space where others could also discover how freeing and healing art can be.
I also had the opportunity to exhibit my work in a group show at AIFACS Gallery in Delhi, which gave me the encouragement to share my work more openly with others.
I truly believe anyone can make art. You don’t need fancy tools or years of training — just a willingness to explore. That’s what I hope to share with others: the freedom, the healing, and the fun that art can bring.
Let’s create something meaningful together.
