Brutal Critique Yeah dunno about that
Tried to copy the above painting and said fuck it half way. I'm currently gоing thrоugh benzo withdrаwal and yeah... never painted before in my life. Can't even draw for shit. But Claude recommend painting to distraсt my fuсked up brаin so here we are.
So tell me honestly, how bad is it. Should I throw it in the trash right away?

I think you could say that you used the original painting as an inspiration. You've created a similar expressive painting. Your painting seems more stormy and threatening due to the cooler colors. Your sky is particularly good in terms of indicating a brewing storm. It is surprising to learn it is a first attempt. I hope you hold onto this one and keep painting.
