You're doing better than you think. Building up the painting in layers is definitely the way to go. On the first session don't worry too much about the color. Try to get the drawing as accurate as possible. It will help you later on since the rightness of smaller shapes is contingent on correct larger shapes. As the painting progresses you can get smaller and smaller in your focus. Good luck.
