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 light-filled studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961, Pablo Picasso is absorbed in a new work. Dressed in a white shirt, he holds a large sheet over the back of a caned chair, applying gouache with Caran d'ache wax oil pastels and watercolor—a process in which he famously encouraged unpredictable outcomes. The room, a vibrant testament to his prolific life, is filled from floor to ceiling with paintings, sculptures, and art supplies, all bathed in the bright daylight streaming through a large, arched window.
