Hi, i'd suggest to start with, try working in greyscale first, forget colour for the moment...it gets very confusing trying to choose correct colour saturation etc... secondly for sharper edges use the hard round brush...something i forget to use as well lol, If you want straight lines press the brush down at the start of the line, then hold the shift key and then press the brush down where the end of the line you want is. I stubbornly avoided using this for a long time as i thought it was a bit like cheating, but straight lines are infinitely harder to draw on a tablet than directly onto paper for some reason (at least that's how i've found it, so use the software to help, it's what it's there for)
Landscapes fall apart or succeed on correct perspective...so have a look through the resources section here for tutorials on creating perspective, and start small/simple, for example, with your painting of the wall, try just drawing the gate, using a perspective grid, and just work at getting that right, you're not going to produce amazing stuff instantly (i hated it when i realised that), but you'll get there :)
