Question: Why does Rose say "artists need good light don't they?" when they enter her stateroom, even though she hasn't actually asked Jack to draw her yet?

Question: Why does Rose get Jack to draw her if she is only going to give it to Cal to make him angry?
Answer: You answered your own question. That is her only reason. She is showing Cal all that he will never get and that, obviously, someone else (of a lower class!) will.
Answer: The answer by Sereenie isn't totally wrong, but I think there is a bit more meaning. Cal is a wealthy, powerful, controlling man. By giving him the drawing, Rose is showing him that she deceived him. It's also a sign of her choosing a life with Jack instead of him. He is probably not used to being rejected by many women (due to his wealth and social status) – he does the rejecting. And it's especially insulting that Rose prefers an unstable life with Jack, a low-income drifter type.

Answer: She probably had already asked him (he had all of his material with him after all); she just hadn't yet specified *how* she wanted to be drawn.
