As a hobby painter, I believe there’s also your (in)ability or your “favorite” style of painting things that makes paintings look the same. Many of my portraits have the same style because I know or can paint certain things/angles/shadows more “right” than other. It doesn’t look like me, but I do lend my own face to find the right thing/angle/shadow.
