Here's how it works. She starts sketching what she wants to paint, keeping in mind that the viewer will see a mirror image. She hones in on the details like the reflection in the pupil of the eye. Then she paints the colors in layers as they dry and overlays the white of the eye. It's a time consuming process, but it makes the colors pop.
