All in all, there is very little, if anything wrong with these pencils, I love my Caran Dache Luminance Color Pencils. As with everything in life, there has to be a best and a worst, although I am very young in terms of my time as a colored pencil artist, even I can tell what the finest quality coloured pencil is, and Caran D'ache Luminance takes the crown. With other wax based pencils, the beauty of them is the soft core, but with the luminance you get that soft application without having to resharpen the core after every few strokes. com/products_images/prod_11152/d_boite-20-couleurs-luminance-6901-assortiment-portrait-caran-d-ache-onroll-0.com/products_images/prod_11257/d_boite-100-couleurs-luminance-6901-2-blender-caran-d-ache-detail9-0. 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. Combine with SUPRACOLOR ® Soft Aquarelle for wash drawings and watercolour effects in mixed techniques, or PABLO ® pencils for details, hatching and to colour numerous media. com/products_images/prod_11152/c_boite-20-couleurs-luminance-6901-assortiment-portrait-caran-d-ache-front-0. I found they worked well on all three papers, laying down colour which was vibrant from the start, and offered a creamy consistency: reminding me slightly of using oil pastels.

To test the pencils, I used them with ink on laid paper and on their own on two makes of 200gm paper, one somewhat rougher than the other. However, it was a good test – the colour is strong, easily darkened, but I should have reserved some lighter parts; I tried a touch of putty rubber, but soon abandoned it – it works well on darker colours, but not so well with the mid-tones, especially the greens: tends to smear them. These exceptionally vibrant range of coloured pencils comply with the highest international standard of lightfastness ASTM D6901, which means artworks created with the Luminance 6901 pencils will exhibit no appreciable colour change after being exposed to the appropriate equivalence of 100 years of indoor museum lighting. Luminance 6901™ combines the best possible lightfastness with the smoothness of a permanent lead made with wax. The Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 white is a round coloured pencil with the creaminess of a permanent lead combined with unbeatable light resistance.But it’s a perfectly good look if you do like it – if you enjoy ‘polishing’ your drawings, they work well. I have also completed a review of these beautiful Caran D'ache Luminance pencils on my YouTube channel where I have conducted a few test's which are better witnessed, so if you are interested follow the link and watch the video.
