If you want to distill a method in order to become a better craftsman, all you need is practice. Not necessarily to perfect your results (which are already terrific) but to develop a systematic approach, if that's what you want. The more paintings you do the more you will find a sequence of doing things that works for you. But, as Tim pointed out, too much of a "system" can kill freshness, so don't worry about that aspect of it too much.

I am amazed that you paint so well after only doing this for a year and without any formal instruction. You truly have a gift!
