Pre-Planning: The Death of Painting

For this project I plan on recreating Cezanne's Chestnut Trees.

To do so, I will reconstruct the scene in miniature using items found in nature, such as sticks for the trees in the foreground, leaves for trees in the background, dirt for the path, and rocks for the wall. The background will be painted on white paper and the building will be constructed out of cardboard and paint. As for the grass, I am unsure yet as to what material will be used. The final construction will be photographed in the lighting studio. Below are images of different materials I will use, as well as a very rough set up of the foreground trees.
Rough layout of Trees. Final set-up will be wider.
