After having received a withering comment on Facebook last night (a so-called friend wanted to rate my yesterdays lilies with -1) I decided to give it another go ;-)

Minimize Stroke Number - Apples


20 cm x 15 cm, Oil on Board

105 brushstrokes. My color was far off at the beginning and i had to redo quite a lot. It's really a great exercise to improve brushwork and use more paint.

Minimize Stroke Exercise - Citrus


20 cm x 15 cm, Oil on Board

An exercise to stop working arbitrarily and only do considerate brushstrokes. It helps to mix the correct color on the palette rather than mixing on the painting (by applying plenty of brushstrokes to correct the original errors). Goal is to create a cleaner, more appealing mosiac of colors representing the subject.

This is my first approach to this - I needed 101 strokes.
