Colorful Beards

Just found the wonderfully interesting site arthound.net and poked around for a bit to see what they're all about.  I am especially digging this: 
Painted by the talented Aaron Smith.*  I love the Van Gogh-esque aesthetic. This one's from a series called "Bearded Blokes" which is not only hilarious but also ridiculously trendy right now. 

I wonder if this technique of color conglomeration would be difficult to mimic?  I doubt it could ever be done as wonderfully as this, though.  Anyone up for a painting party?

*He even has a beard himself and looks a bit like his portraits. It's like those dog owners who look like their faithful pooches!
