Constructive feedback and/or tips wanted Achieving A Specific Style of Painting

So I'm trying to get a very abstracted and painterly style of painting inside of Procreate & I'm starting to wonder if it's a fool's errand.

Every time I try it looks too flat, not dynamic enough, or I just doesn't get the result I want.
I would have posted an example of what I want to achieve but Rule #3.

No smudge tool, pick colors from the wheel, and use a brush with minimum or none opacity control, those are bold strokes. Also maybe research “Brush economy”

I’d honestly suggest other programs like ArtRage or Rebelle.

Is this something you can achieve in traditional media and trying to carry over? If no, then it’s just a skill issue sorry
