Product Information

Luminance 6901 complies with the ASTM D-6901 standard, the highest international standard concerning coloured pencils' light fastness. These are however just quibbles – any trial set will offer a representative sample of the colours available; there are many more offered by Caran d’Ache (the full range is 100 colours) and a medium is available to use with them, which they say enhances the colours, and makes them more readily blend-able. com/products_images/prod_11257/d_boite-100-couleurs-luminance-6901-2-blender-caran-d-ache-detail3-0.

These new artistic colours, complementary to the existing colour chart, broaden the field of use and application of these exceptional lightfast colour pencils. Carefully selected by leading pastel artists, these PASTEL PENCILS assortments are intended for both beginners and experienced amateur or professional artists, for preliminary work and detailed finishing of a huge variety of subjects.

This is certainly not a problem with these quality pencils, the leads are just about the strongest I’ve found since the demise of Berol pencils. With Luminance 6901, Caran d’Ache has achieved the feat of creating quite simply the most lightfast colour pencil ever designed. com/products_images/prod_11257/d_boite-100-couleurs-luminance-6901-2-blender-caran-d-ache-detail7-0.Drawing Number Six is a beach scene featuring heavy use of the pencils, Rotring ink and white gel pen. Containing a broad and balanced range of 12 colours, beautifully presented in an attractive box would make the perfect gift for any creative with high quality demands.

diameter, in a range of balanced colours with high pigment concentration, is recommended for mixing and shading, working blends or for shading and rubbing with the white pencil. And why offer Prussian blue and pthalocyanine blue in the same set – when an ultramarine would have given us a red-leaning blue? com/products_images/prod_11257/d_boite-100-couleurs-luminance-6901-2-blender-caran-d-ache-detail1-0. In the Luminance line, the sets available are 20, 40, 76 and 80, however the 80 set as mentioned above is the gift box set and some of the colours are duplicate.com/products_images/prod_11152/d_boite-20-couleurs-luminance-6901-assortiment-portrait-caran-d-ache-detail1-0. The range of colours supplied in this set – I did not attempt to supplement it with other brands – would be good for portraiture (better, if there were a yellow ochre included) and are adequate for landscape work. With solid leads and a wide range of colours created from highly concentrated pigments, they have been made for professional level work.

In accordance with the international ASTM D-6901 standard (which certifies the lightfastness of colours on a scale from LFI to LFV), Luminance 6901™ offers to the demands of the most exacting creative professionals the guarantee that their works will stand the test of time for up to 100 years. Luminance 6901™ combines the best possible lightfastness with the smoothness of a permanent lead made with wax. The creaminess of a permanent lead combined with unbeatable light resistance : excellence for the most demanding artists, designers, architects, artistic directors, etc. This isn't a critisism of Luminanace though, there’s not a coloured pencil invented that would turn me into a devotee of a material which I find takes quite a lot of work and doesn’t flow in the way that paint and ink do.The light resistance of these pencils complies with the highest international standards for light resistance in coloured pencils, whilst the maximum covering power is ideal for superimposing and shading, with unlimited mixed media combinations. Luminance 6901™ colour palette has been expanded with 20 new colours – all with the same 100% lightfast guarantee – meaning the range now comprises 100 different shades. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
