The subdued colours on the top image have an almost watercolour feel to them, in the bottom one I think you need to consider your mark making a little more, new brushes are fun to play with but should be used to ehance the piece, more often than not the basic selection of brushes are more than adequate, with a couple of specialist brushes to do certain jobs. Also some brushes need to have there settings adjusted to get the best effect.
just realised I was labouring the point a little there lol.
I think if you reduce the opacity of this one and use it a guide to build upon you should be fine.

Two of the scenes I chose to draw, now coloured. Used a brush I got off of Deviantart to achieve the pattern.
