I am reminded of what H James said of Sargent when he was very young, "He has an insolent degree of talent".

Your work will begin to flow and take on a look all its own with "miles of canvas" being put behind you. It is not unlike the signature you slap down on checks everyday. It changes with time and becomes your own through repeated execution.

The questions you seek are not easy to answer, due to the high degree of your talent. Few books are written on the small things that just a few persons ever come to want to know. I played some baseball in my youth and there were no books that told you how to adjust your swing for an expected curveball coming from a left-handed pitcher (likely low and away). These questions did not concern a critical mass (at least not enough baseball players to justify the publishers.)
