Caran d’Ache Luminance 6901 Coloured Pencils, Set of 40

Caran d’Ache Luminance 6901 – 40 artists’ coloured pencils

The Luminance 6901 set of 40 from Caran d’Ache offers a versatile choice of colours for demanding drawings, illustrations and detailed artworks. The highly pigmented artists’ coloured pencils stand out for their intense colours, high opacity and exceptional lightfastness.

The creamy, water-resistant lead glides smoothly over the paper and allows both strong colour application and soft transitions. Colours can be layered, mixed together and blended evenly. This makes the set suitable for portraits, landscapes, animal drawings, botanical subjects and realistic illustrations, among other things.

For professional drawings and long-lasting artworks

The Luminance 6901 coloured pencils are particularly suited to artists who value controlled colour application and lasting, brilliant results. The 40 colours make a versatile basic set and can be extended to many further shades by layering and mixing.

Our tip: First apply the colours with light pressure in several thin layers. This gives even transitions and finely graded shades. For particularly intense areas, you can gradually increase the pressure on the last layers. Luminance pencils also combine well with Caran d’Ache Pablo pencils for fine details or with Supracolor Soft Aquarelle for watercolour effects.
