About MeBetween 1934-5 Cowie worked on the large oil painting, 'Two Schoolgirls', at Belshill and Aberdeen. For the composition he made numerous studies using a variety of media; pencil, pastel, crayon and chalk. Several drawings like this one concentrate on small details of the composition such as drapery and clothing and were drawn from life.
