Using the soft/hard round brushes and applying the Pen Pressure button for the brush works wonders.

The pencil in a circle icons after Opacity and Smoothing are the ones you want on, like on this, which will help you get the pressure you want, which is nice for blending.

"B" is the brush tool keybind in PS, however pressing this over and over goes through 3/4 different kinds of brush, but your main one is just the Brush tool (little paintbrush icon). You can also change the style of your brush (I'll reply to this message with a screenshot of it + explain).

The "[" and "]" keys are used to change the size of the brush, "[" making the brush smaller and "]" larger.

"E" is for the eraser/rubber tool, simple enough. "I" is the colour picker or eyedropper tool. These are simple keybinds but if you wanna change them or just get rid of a shitload you can (plus you can save your keybinds too).

Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts will be your go to for changing them, or Alt+Shift+Ctrl+K but fuck that.

As for critique: I like how soft the colours you're using are, and I like how you've implemented hints of yellowish green into the foliage of your cutout.
The reflection on the window make it look like it's a nice and soft early morning (are you using a ref? Only because with windows you can see the inside of buildings slightly and they will reflect too).
The strokes you're using are giving it some good shape too, don't be afraid to build them up though to make them look solid.
