Lots of options like this.
From some limited experience, you may have had TOO much liquid white on the canvas. Trying using less next time.
To get a clean white color, I find that I have to clean my brushes OFTEN. If my colors start to blend together, I either run the brush on my palette until the brush is clean or use a paper towel to wipe the paint off.
Looks like you "blurred" the clouds out with the "one hair and air"? Might have pushed too hard and blurred all the color together. Also combined with your lavender problem earlier, your white might have taken out all the dark accents. I had a similar problem with my Emerald Water painting background. The shadows are just as important as the light/highlights.
You might need a new fan brush. I just got a new one to test, but I looked for a stiffer bristled brush. The fan brush I was originally using was probably too soft (and originally meant for watercolor/acrylic). https://imgur.com/a/IqxBpt7
Need to load more white paint to get the snow drifts I think. Get that "ridge" of paint on.
Also, in my general experience, something with less colors tend to be harder.
You can always gesso over a canvas to continue practicing, or art stores will carry canvas paper. Basically gesso'd paper. https://www.amazon.com/Strathmore-25-309-Canvas-Paper-Sheets/dp/B0027AGL90
