Pablo Picasso working on gouache with Caran d'ache wax oil pastels and water color. Pablo Picasso always liked surprises and in his work he encouraged unpredictable outcomes. La Californie, Cannes 1961.

In his studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso stands intensely focused on a new work in 1961. With a brush, he applies watercolor and Caran d'Ache wax oil pastels to a gouache set on a small easel. The room is a scene of creative chaos, its ornate walls adorned with finished paintings—including a cubist portrait and a still life—alongside a lute. Tables are covered with jars, brushes, and papers, the raw materials of his prolific creation.
