How to pick better colors that suit the ambience of a drawing?

My colors definitely need urgent improvement, and I think one of my issues is that it's very hard for me to guess which colors to use depending on the mood of the drawing, so my color picking ends up being very... basic.

For example when I draw a natural scenery, I'll often have the tree trunks brown (although I'm sometimes making them more green or purple, but still), the leaves green, the grass lighter/yellower green, the bushes darker/bluer green, the dirt brown, the rocks grey, etc. I just don't know how to guess which colors to use if I want to create an ambience that isn't just regular white light.

For now I rely almost exclusively on layers, blending modes and color correction to help me give tints to my colors, but not only it's not enough, but I also want to actually be able to understand it and do it myself.

Attached are some examples of my art, first four drawings were drawn this year and the last one is 2 years old, but I don't think my coloring has improved much since then. I hate my colors, they feel either dull or over the top, they lack harmony, and you can tell I have no idea what I'm doing.

What can I do to improve on that aspect? I've tried looking at photos and art, but I'm struggling to understand the logic behind everything, the best I can do is copy it and... not be able to reproduce it myself later, since I didn't actually understand why the colors were that way.

Is there an easy way to know if someone is reposting someone else's videos?

I found a small art channel that currently has only two shorts and a hundred followers, however the concept the guy's videos is to correct his followers' drawings... It sounds pretty fishy imo that he can use a concept that requires having followers at the very start of his channel.

Is there an easy way to check if these two videos were originally posted on someone else's channel?

I don't understand why my graph editor doesn't show the little handles so I can have nice curves instead of hard angles :(

I'm using CSP EX V5

This person was showing how in IbisPaintX you can create a shape and then have the program repeat it automatically (here it was a rectangle, which once repeated made a grid), and I was wondering if such a functionality in CSP existed. It sounds so useful!

Mon mari et moi souhaitons acheter une maison, mais l'apport demandé est d'environ 30k€, ce qui correspond à peu près à notre épargne. Nous voudrions évidemment ne pas être à sec (d'autant plus qu'il faudra bien la meubler, cette maison!) donc nous nous demandions s'il était possible d'emprunter à nos parents afin de couvrir l'apport.

De ce qu'on a compris, à partir de 5 000€ d'emprunt total, il faut le déclarer aux impôts, mais est-ce que ça engendre des frais? Est-ce qu'on aura des impôts à payer sur l'emprunt? Y a-t-il des limites à l'emprunt entre membres d'une famille?

C'est tellement compliqué tout ça, ça finit par saper le moral :( On commencer à se demander si on va pouvoir l'acheter, cette maison. Le pire c'est que par rapport à nos revenus à tous les deux, le montant qu'on veut emprunter n'est pas délirant!
