"Read your painting. What does it say?"
Unlike a classical composition or a poem, a painting can withstand extra marks that aren't entirely necessary, the medium allows it, as does jazz improvisation, but slowing down and connecting with each mark will improve your paintings immeasurably.
Know what your colors, lines, and marks mean and relate each aspect to another, control repetition and variation and develop your own language.
