The artist begins by painting Harvey’s eyes and does so with precise detail.

He then moves on to the rest of the face and tuxedo jacket, highlighting the entire piece with gray to finally finish it off. 

Tyler appears to be holding the photo of what he’s painting in his hand and glances at it periodically. 

And this clearly isn’t the first time he has done one of these portraits. Behind Tyler are four other paintings in a similar style using brown to highlight the facial features.

The video was originally posted by Tyler’s mother, who must be very proud she may have a future Picasso on her hands.
