i wish i had a good suggestion - i have the same problem too. ALWAYS! one thing i've been trying to constantly remind myself is to desaturate with the complimentary color not always with white. sometimes that helps.
another thing i think we all could work on is making sure you mix the right value/color before you lay it down. I get lazy and don't paint confidently which often leads to overworking. easier said than done.
i'll agree with Darci about color mixing. black and white are typically your enemies when trying to get the right value of a color.
but don't stop here. you'll learn more by ruining it going for broke (if that's what happens) then just stopping here because you're afraid of messing it up. as is, it's not like your going to hang it in a museum anyway, so you've got nothing to loose!

it's looking pretty good.
this is some good progression.
