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.

Pablo Picasso, deeply engrossed in his work at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961. He leans over a small table, using his hands to apply Caran d'Ache wax oil pastels and watercolor to a gouache—a process in which he famously encouraged unpredictable outcomes. His cluttered studio is filled with personal effects, while the walls behind him are adorned with his own paintings and several stringed instruments. An open red case of art supplies rests on the table beside his evolving creation.
