Yes... this isn't really up to par...
You really need to MAKE MORE! MORE! Hahahhahaa!!!
Yes yes I know this is pretty transparent, but hey, just wanted to make sure you indeed made a gazillion more! To our utter delight!
And no, it's not worth a
You are aiming for perfection at a first try... never happens, and when it does, it's even worse since you'll never be able to replicate it!

Hahaha! you just made my day Beauty!
I am not very happy with the water paint by van Gogh, it was a cheap box and I think it misses the brilliance and textures that I am looking for
or........ I am not mixing good....
Still, wanto save some money and buy me a professional kit.... then compare it and force myselve that way to keep going! 
Thank you so much for your kind words
I'll be back

On a specific technical issue: you may be a bit too eager. I cannot tell definitely, but looking close up (you had the kindness to put a very large image) it seems you may be putting some splotches (hehehehe) a little too early, before the adjacent paint isn't dry enough, and in other places, you seem to be doing the opposite but on still virgin paper, which results in sharp delineation where you would really wish for atonement. There a slight stroke of water brush should do the trick. Either after (more difficult but when well done: perfect) or before you even paint in order to create the effect you want. This is clear on the cloud shapes in the middle and the tree line. One last advice is to work with your strokes in a counterintuitive way. Not only as you have brilliantly done to create movement, but in order to position zones against one another, or to manage the overlaps.
Now of course remember that most of the artists that face the challenges do no do what you do: they concentrate their efforts in avoiding such situations at all costs, generally by playing the "minimalist" card, sometimes called the "exotic touch"...
In this picture's specifics, they would probably just have done a couple of ducks under a distant looming sky and clearly above any horizon, maybe using the flight's shadow or reflection to hide the scarcity of it all...
Good work!

You have a keen eye beauty!
Going to work on it and did some research on the internet about the differences between the brands of water colors.
Will stick to my van Gogh but am eager to see the difference so I will buy some naps of Winstons just for studies.
You are right though and hope to keep growing... hihihihihi ^.^
Tomorrow is Kings day and I do not have to work so .... Study my watercolors!! 
Thank you so much for all the tips and support - Lineke
