Do you guys write scenes you know you will throw away?

I’ve written things and thrown them away, but I wouldn’t write things knowing in advance that I was going to throw them away.

That said, I do draw things knowing that they won’t be seen. For example, I recently drew a throne room for a background, complete with throne inspired by the one used by Napoleon, and then covered it with foreground action. Another time I drew a whole Cape-Cod style house with detail right down to the wood grain in the siding and the asphalt shingles on the roof, then covered all but a small part of it with foreground imagery. Thanks to the magic of layers, though, I still have the original backgrounds.
