I'd recommend starting with some paintings from pictures and master studies. I'd also cut down on layers, it looks as if you drew each line on a new layer when it could have been simplified down to just one layer. Look at Ctrl paint.com and daarkens enliighten site for some very nice intoductions to starting out. Starting out nothing from your imagination is going to blow your mind because you dont have anything in your mental library to fall back on for knowledge, you cant paint a mountain from imagination if youve never studied them yet etc.
