Hey John!
Nice to see that you are studying masters work. Ruo Li is one of my favorites!
The problem is that you are just coping colors from the work.It's ok if you want to train your eye to exactly see/pick the right value.But you don't understand the structure of the waves. Even if it's water, it has its own form.In Ruo's painting, i can feel how water is moving,how its changing.In your copy, i just see a flat floor full of something.Before another painting study,try to analyze the form first.Draw a 3d grid on what you are studying in order to see how the form is formed and how it's changing.

Hope it will help you! Good luck!
