How much planning goes into each artwork?

 In order to create the context of the painting, I need the information of the series and collect all my materials. After I have the basic context of the series the painting ideas just pup up in my mind while working. So after having the context there is only a limited amount of time of planning per each painting. When starting the painting I have my storyboard note book, where I make notes for every individual painting, so the context also increases while working on the artwork.
