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.

Deep in concentration, Pablo Picasso leans over a new work in his studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1961. With sleeves rolled up, he applies a paintbrush to a colorful, abstract composition, employing a mixture of gouache, watercolor, and Caran d'Ache wax oil pastels. The open red case of pastels sits beside the artwork, while behind him, the studio walls are filled with other paintings and the dark silhouette of a guitar.
