What is the technique to win endgames likes this?

 This was the game and we got into a rather mental endgame. I was able to grind out a win, but needless to say there were plenty of issues with technique on both sides.
 
I think with correct play this should have been a draw. So what I want to know is that are these positions theoretical draws? Or was it always a winning endgame that got drawish because of inept play from me.
 
If so what is the correct technique/principle in winning endgames like this?

Look up the Lucena Position in endgame book, White should win this.
