Haha that boy sitting on the stairs is so cute!
Concerning the satyr piece and brush strokes - there are some nice ones in the background mountains, but going towards the foreground/figure you seem to be less confident about the strokes. Maybe you could start with establishing planes with strictly 2-3 values, and only then smoothing it with deliberate (!) brush strokes, enhancing the form.
And also, what Jaik says - keep a painting similar to what you want to achieve open, or try to copy some paintings you like and try to recreate the aspects that appeal to you (strokes, level of opacity, edges etc). Then apply on your own painting.
Good luck on the internship! Now if that's not a good opportunity to get your work routine in order :)
