Flatness is to me the result of a large hard brush stroke with little to no blending.
You either have to lower the opacity of that brush so the brush stroke can lay on top of each other and create more gradient or you have to blend the color or use some soft brush to avoid edge creating ''plane'' aka flatness think of each hard brush stroke as a value if it doesn't change value in space according to the proper plane it sit on it create flatness as it wrongly indicate ''this the same point in space'' as somewhere else or that it receiving the same amount as point A when in fact this is point B be there should be a either change in value according to the material and light source. Every light created as a gradient even wall have gradient.
By choosing to have the brush stroke visible you go away from realism by choosing to blend you will have to spend considerably more time on each piece to properly develop the right amount of gradient to achieve the proper rate of the gradient that indicate plane change.
But i think for that you still have to develop the patience and appreciation of form change.
