Description

Caran d’Ache wins the innovation prize 2010 of the SMAC (Fair of the creative professions and activities) with its Luminance 6901 colour pencil. Using the same paper as previously, I was a bit less gung-ho – took more time and gave the process more thought.

When you ope the box the first thing to hit you is the wonderful smell, it is like walking through a beautiful woodland on a damp summers morning, after which the luscious display of colours simply ignite your creative juices. 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.

Luminance 6901™ combines the best possible lightfastness with the smoothness of a permanent lead made with wax. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

In Drawing Number One, on String and Space 200gm A4 paper, I used the pencils full strength, fairly heavy-handedly, to convey trees by a thin strip of ploughed field.

In addition the wood casing is harder than normal and while a lesser (handheld) sharpener works, it can grind a bit on the casing making the wood fuzzy. p>

With solid leads and a wide range of colours created from highly concentrated pigments, they have been made for professional level work. 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_11152/d_boite-20-couleurs-luminance-6901-assortiment-portrait-caran-d-ache-onroll-0.

Its delicate texture, along with the vibrancy of the many recently developed shades, open up exciting new vistas in the realms of overlaying, mixed techniques and gradation. Following the launch of 24 new Luminance 6901™ colours, Caran d’Ache now proposes all 100 colours in a complete assortment, including 8 shades unique to the Caran d’Ache colour chart. In summary, Caran d’Ache Luminance 6901 Permanent Pencils are a high-grade product and, in the hands of professional coloured pencil artists, would be certain to improve their work. com/products_images/prod_11257/d_boite-100-couleurs-luminance-6901-2-blender-caran-d-ache-detail4-0.

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. Application : a creamy, generous lead in a range of balanced colours with high pigment concentration. 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. These new artistic colours, complementary to the existing colour chart, broaden the field of use and application of these exceptional lightfast colour pencils. com/products_images/prod_11152/c_boite-20-couleurs-luminance-6901-assortiment-portrait-caran-d-ache-front-0.

Drawing Number Five is a combination piece, on A5 Fabriano Classic Artists Journal – laid paper, which is much lighter but still tough.Drawing Number Six is a beach scene featuring heavy use of the pencils, Rotring ink and white gel pen.
