Picasso working on gouache with Caran d'Ache wax oil pastels and water color. Picasso always liked surprises and in his work he encouraged unpredictable outcomes. La Californie, Cannes, Easter (good Friday) 16.3.1961.

In his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso is captured in a moment of intense artistic focus. He leans forward, applying a Caran d'Ache wax oil pastel to a gouache and watercolor held on a drawing board in his lap. This method of combining media encouraged the unpredictable outcomes the artist often sought in his work. His left hand hovers over an open case of colorful crayons, ready to make the next mark on the abstract composition. The scene was captured on 16 March 1961.
