Title: ‘Ms. Lauryn Hill’
Artist: Bart Carels
Year: 2020
Process
Today I painted Ms. Lauryn Hill, in my opinion a fantastic singer and rapper with a really nice sound. to her voice. I continued with the black marker just like the previous painting of J. Cole (scroll down), but used a fineliner/ink pen for some details like the eyebrows and eyes. Her head wrap consists mostly of a bluish-turquoise color and the face has a lot of orangy-brown tones, which made me put the vermillion around her head. Works well I think.
At this point I blocked in the denim jacket. Kept it real loose, because I wanted to focus on her head. Then I started to put some color in the face (loved the blue highlight on the cheek/jawline. Next I filled most of the head wrap with color, not copying the exact pattern and shapes, but merely suggesting them roughly. I covered up the background with a mixture of blue tones and some orange and then I went on with adding details. That’s about it!
