Scan or photocopy the painting.
OUTLINE
Get a black texta and outline the important shapes. Use this as a guide and muck around with the drawing and redo it as much as you like until you get shapes that you can colour. If you like you can put a "blob" to indicate a flower bush, and "clouds" to signify a lot of leaves. Certainly don't go to the trouble of drawing each leaf or flower!
COLOUR
Write down the main colours that are in the painting, on a peice of paper.
(Don't worry too much about any tiny details, nor shading of colours, you just want the main shapes and colours.)
YOUR PAINTING
Copy the shapes onto your canvas using a soft pencil (which you will eventually paint over).
Paint in the shapes with the colour that you have chosen and ensure you keep the colours in the appropriate shapes without touching the colours together.
Have a look at the background colour of the original Artist's
painting. Can you make the same colour? (Don't worry if it is not exact.)
Now, when all the shapes you have identified are coloured in, simply fill any blanks with the background colour.
When the shapes are dry, gently go over the pencil with the background colour.
You have your painting! Don't worry if it looks crude to you. You have done exactly what the teacher asks you to do.

Get one of those projectors that will show it on a wall where you will have taped paper. Then you can trace it as you'd like. It appears to be an impressionist painting so it won't have clear lines.

Perhaps you should have picked something easier if you have no idea how to paint or draw at all.

You picked a really hard picture... just try to sketch the basics (lightly) in the picture, ex. flowers, house, gate, etc, and then just add color by slowly and lightly dabbing the paint on. As long as the sketch looks remotely like the painting, it will look okay. as long as you take your time with the paint, it will turn out fine.

if you cant draw at all my friend i suggest you try something a little less complicated

you can't trace that it's too complex
try modern art for your selection

choose a famous painting to draw and paint... if this question is stil open i think you should choose and easier one like this....http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/assets/... or this http://blogs.princeton.edu/wri152-3/f05/...
or this http://www.harley.com/art/abstract-art/i...
or this... http://www.orbit.zkm.de/files/andywarhol...

then you can trace the outlines on tracing paper and them turn the tracing paper around and using a pencil draw on the lines onto another page if you catch my drift... it comes out faint but you can go over it to make it stronger and then you can paint it....
