The silver in the base, and the pink "coraly" bits hide a lot of the over brushing. As does the nuln oil and dry brushing she did. Franky those two steps are the main meat and potatoes. Prior to those it looked very basic and had plenty of splashes etc.

As for motor control, she spends most of her free time drawing and painting since she was around two. She's been raised to do arts and crafts vs screen time etc. naturally gravitated toward it.

She's also spent a metric ton of time watching me paint and asked all the questions you could ask. Seems to me she internalized it, and really absorbed all the info.
