One stroke!

Notice how Bill makes one stroke for each of his leaves and the stem. One of the biggest problems with artists, particularly more experienced artists, is a tendency to overwork a stroke. We tend to worsen it rather  than making it better.

Be confident in your painting. Whether with brush or knife, be bold. Make your stroke and be done with it!
