Need help on an abstract painting...?

I'm getting paid a hundred dollars to paint this (see picture)

My mother's friend wants to help me out with money by having me paint this for her. I gladly accepted of course but should've asked Вопросы first. The way I see it, I'm pretty good with painting... but not like this. Abstract painting, или whatever Ты want to call this piece, is not only NOT my style, but also seems awkward for me to do because сказал(-а) not my style. Also, I don't know if she wants me to do it exactly as it is, или in my own way. Even then, how could I possibly convert this to my realism-'style' painting? These are just a few Вопросы roaming around my overstressed mentality.

But, I was hoping any of Ты out there could give me helpful tips, advice, and/or tutorials maybe? I have no other help -I don't know anybody who paints outside the internet. That would be great to get some help from fellow artists, или just anyone who knows painting and abstract qualities very well! ^^

Thanks for reading, and special thanks to those who answer! :D

PS: I tried asking my mom to ask her friend about the whole 'style' thing but she's been no help *heavy sigh*

Dear Aisuanime,
i Любовь painin
dis is my advice...

an abstract can b a tricky subject
u wish to recreate dis piece
u can use eithr acrylic или oil paints
i prefer oil
abstract doesnt gv much attention to forms
here however u clearly c 2 boxers, one punchin d othrs face
so
STEP ONE- on ur board(canvas или wood are d best options i believe) apply a thin layer of RED ACRYLIC
STEP TWO- draw d 2 boxers usin charcoal или wid red paint just their figure n d GLOVES
STEP 3- BUILDING THE PAINTING
take PAINTING KNIVES
on ur pallete put d dominant colours u see
RED BLUE YELLOW WHITE
Start wid red puttin dabs of blue on the boxers n othr part of d painting

DO NOT PUT A VERY THICK LAYER IN THE BEGINNING
JUST KEEP ADDIN LAYERS N LAYERS OF PAINT

N
ABOVE ALL HAVE FUN :)
