I think the underlying mechanism is feedback (even your own). The more times you try, see the result, and adjust, the better you’ll get. You need to either have good taste yourself or an arbiter who can tell you where you went wrong. Of course at some point you reach a skill level where this no longer works. You still need as many cycles as you can get, but the cycles get longer because it just takes time to do the bigger and better things you can do now.
