I'm not very good at landscapes either, but some general advice - don't bite off too much at a time. Drop the color, work only in black and white for now. And don't go for an imaginary landscape without reference, until you know how to create a real one - get a reference, copy it without tracing or colorpicking, repeat as necessary until... well until you either don't want to anymore, or you're really good at it, whichever comes first.

Don't be afraid to drop some darker tones in.

Yeah I agree, I don't think you have a bad start here at all. Start doing some landscapes from reference, keep practising them and soon it will start coming more naturally. Just keep on going =)
