Oh you are a talented artist sweetie, don't ever let anybody tell you different. *hugs*
You have some of the best art here and you've inspired me to be a better artist too. :) I'd be interested in a request if you're still taking them please. :)

Please don't take this the wrong way but i understand where your parents are coming from but i also see your point of view. The water color portrait looks unfinished to me. I think you should try out some water color techniques, like dry brush, plastic or sponges or some color splat. It would give it more depth and technique. Doing these techniques would make it less easier to copy. You can also try to make it more opaque on some parts. Gauche is really good for this!
If you need help, you can shoot me a Pm i'm familiar with water color!! :D
okay I just read your update and I can see why you got upset. While I don't think it was really necessary for them to say it doesn't look professional, it doesn't really seem like it's finished either. Maybe that is what they meant?
I feel like maybe you can add some more to this painting like some shadows on some parts not all, and maybe you need another layer of paint to this?
You may also want to maybe outline some of the stripes with a black water color pencil.
I hope that input helps a little? ^^ other then that this looks fine to me.
Omg what could they have possibly said bad about that painting? It's lovely. I really like the colors and the tiger's eyes. Don't let it get you down too much, alright? You're fantastic. Rest easy. Hope you feel better! :3

Lmao, my parents do the same thing. Don't ever let them discourage you. I can't work with paint at all. I love it btw.

I don't know where to get watercolor pencils. And I can't watercolor very well so I didn't attempt to shade. But I might go in and do that, thank you

I love the way that this looks. What on earth did they have to say that was bad about it? I think you did a great job.
