Hey Crone :)
Great to see so many studies. Now try to put them to use! :)
For simple value/color studies, I think you sometimes go a bit to detailed - while copying a master artwork is a great exercise as well, I personally find it more effective to stay more loose, and concentrate more on the colors and forms, instead of the rendering of a tree or figure for example. I also found it challenging to only use hard, opaque brushes - it forces you to really make a decision which color/value you want to put down.
Anyway, that's just suggestions for things to try out, you're doing great - keem 'em coming! :D
