Luminance 6901 Coloured Pencils from Caran D'Ache combine the highest lightfastness with the smoothness of a permanent lead. This is a much heavier approach again and is based on someone else’s very old painting of the River Yar, with the Downs behind.

With solid leads and a wide range of colours created from highly concentrated pigments, they have been made for professional level work. com/products_images/prod_11257/d_boite-100-couleurs-luminance-6901-2-blender-caran-d-ache-detail2-0. Produced in accordance to the ASTM D-6901 standard, they meet the requirements of the most demanding creative professionals when it comes to ensuring the original quality of their works. 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.

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. With Luminance 6901, Caran d’Ache has achieved the feat of creating quite simply the most lightfast colour pencil ever designed. Drawing Number Five is a combination piece, on A5 Fabriano Classic Artists Journal – laid paper, which is much lighter but still tough. If they are what you are looking for, my advice would be to purchase the largest set you can afford.

Luminance 6901™ combines the best possible lightfastness with the smoothness of a permanent lead made with wax. I’d like to try them on watercolour paper, both rough and hot-pressed (especially on the latter) on their own or in conjunction with watercolour, ink, even gouache and acrylic. Caran D'Ache Luminance 6901 Pencils are top quality coloured pencils that have exceptionally high lightfastness and pigment levels.This was even more of a play with the materials than the others, but does show what can be done – the pencils’ opacity was useful here; they can be used transparently, it’s just a matter of how much colour you apply. Caran d'Ache won the innovation prize 2010 of the SMAC (Fair of the creative professions and activities) with its Luminance 6901 colour pencil. Although I’ve been painting in oil, acrylic and watercolour for some 50 years, I rarely use coloured pencils. These new artistic colours, complementary to the existing colour chart, broaden the field of use and application of these exceptional lightfast colour pencils.

As always, with any make of coloured pencil, I find some of the names given to the colours a little weird; why specify anthraquinoid pink, or perylene brown, and then label your greens ‘grass green’ or ‘spring green’? Its extreme lightfastness is confirmed by the most rigourous tests, earning Luminance 6901 top results.core, the Luminance range is a wax based pencil and although when laying down the colour it is thick and creamy, the core is not ridiculously soft and holds a fine point quite well.
