Here is my rough drawing for she put away the egg. I figure out everything in thyis stage, transfering the lines to water colour paper and keeping the drawing pinned above my drawing table for reference. I've thought a lot about how much drawing should be done before I start a painting and how much should be left to chance, and I've decided my best paintings have a strong under drawing. I need to do these roughs because it's at this stage that things fall into place and the composition starts to make sense.
