Hi, I’m Sarica, an artist based in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. You can usually find me with a cup of tea, surrounded by journals, sketchbooks, fountain pens, and art supplies in my home studio, dreaming up new products for my shop, recording my creative process for YouTube, or working on my long term passion projects, like making zines and writing and illustrating children’s books. When I’m not working, I’m probably taking a stroll with my goofy dogs or tending to the plants in my garden. Learn more

 
These sticker grab bags will be available in my shop in one week! Each pack contains 5 different designs that are either discontinued or ~slightly~ off in color/cut lines. This is a great way to snag some of my stickers for a lower price. They usually sell out fast and there are limited quantities, so mark your planners for next Thursday, 3/28! 🛒 Shop is located at saricastudio.com (there’s a convenient link in my bio) 💖 happy planning, happy journaling & hope you’re doing well!
“In art, you don’t win or lose, you win or learn.” // I don’t know where I heard that before, but that’s what I told myself before trying gouache for the first time. It took me three trepidatious days to finish painting these landscape studies in between preparing for the reopening of my shop. Although I totally made some rookie mistakes (like not adding enough water which caused some layers to crack 😬) I’m okay with the end results and the lessons that I learned! Are there any new mediums you’d like to try in your sketchbook or art journal? . 📘 Stillman & Birn Beta Series Sketchbook 🎨 Arteza Gouache
This is a repost from my last day taking over @sakuraofamerica’s Instagram in which I demonstrated lettering with Soufflé pens on metal. You might think I’m weird but my favorite part was watching the ink dry 😂 And since it’s me, of course I had to write something encouraging… or is it subliminal BTS messaging? You decide 😉 · My original caption: “Hello! It’s @saricastudio with one final lettering video. I’m finishing off my takeover with Soufflé pens! These pens are so fun to use on ceramic, glass, acetate, vellum, and coated paper. I thought it’d be fun to try it on metal today! I’ve had a blast sharing messages of self affirmation with you all during my takeover. Remember, it’s okay to push yourself to improve, but if self critique becomes too harsh, counter it with a healthy dose of self love 😊 Thank you Sakura of America for the opportunity to share my love for lettering with so many awesome creative people! 🥰” · 💖 Gray + Pink Soufflé Pen
I wanted to create some urban landscape studies after doing all the nature ones. So, I decided to paint some of my favorite bridges in Pittsburgh! 💛🖤 The top painting is the Andy Warhol Bridge which is probably the one I have walked the most to go to the Andy Warhol Museum (when I used to work there). The second one is the Smithfield Street Bridge which is the oldest bridge in Pittsburgh and one of my favorites because of its wavy, intricate design. The last one is the Fort Duquesne Bridge; it reminds me of lazy summer days when I lived closer to downtown and could walk to Point State Park with my husband and dog (this is before we got our second dog). I learned a lot from doing these landscape studies—mainly that I find it difficult to observe and depict the spacial relationships of manmade constructs. For example, don’t look too closely at the Smithfield Street Bridge proportions, because it is all wrong 😂 But that’s what practice is for, right? Happy sketching! ✍️ . 📘 Stillman & Birn Beta Series Sketchbook 🎨 Daniel Smith Watercolors ✏️ Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils
