Oh, that Pablo!

This is a pretty sweet video of Pablo Picasso. He is painting on some sort of clear surface and so you can see him through the surface and se what he is painting at the same time. I think what is interesting, besides his brushstrokes is his facial expressions. He's a cute old man!

I really like this video! It is really cool how you can see his arm movements and gestures and everything. Very interesting!

What is he thinking about when he paints? Does he see what he is going to paint first, and then paint it? Or does he just start moving his arm and then the painting appears in front of him?

For David:

I think it's really a part of the mystery of Picasso and his genius. No one really knows. I mean, If he can see it, then how does he come up with the ways he does to represent the objects? God, he's so fascinating!

cool video. Great music. Notice how progressive and unhesitating all his strokes are.
