In the Instagram reel by @huylson, we see the artist first sketching Mona Lisa's facial features on a potato, with a black pen. They then use yellow, white and brown shades to paint and contour her face. We already see a resemblance forming as they blend the colours masterfully. Next, the artist paints the outer edges of the potato with dark colours to complete the look. Once the face is done, the artist uses different vegetables to create other elements of the Mona Lisa painting. Finally, they mount it in a separate space and take photographs of their creation.
