I suggest for you imaginative stuff you try to do more drawings/sketches rather than paintings, and then slowly ease into the painting as you get more comfortable with drawing.
The main thing lacking with the fairy painting isn't really the painting part, but the lack of construction and clear forms, which is something you develop through drawing, and once you know how to draw it you can then learn how to light it.
You should check out ModernDayJames' youtube channel for a nice, quick and concise rundown of the skills you need to invent objects (i suppose you would want to focus on doing figures or creatures), and then practice as much as you can and work up from there. It's all based on cubes and cylinders : )
