Caran dAche Luminance 6901 Clr Pncl Set 76 Artist Rng

I like them! I really do, BUT I don’t love them the way that I thought I would. They’re better than Prismacolor, but the wax content is still there, so I can’t layer until infinity like I want to (and why I bought them.) Also, there’s a limit to how many times you can draw, erase, and then draw again. It COULD be my paper (I’m using Bristol,) or it could simply be that I’m brandishing the paper too much. Either way, I’m starting to lean towards my Fabel Castels for my layering needs. I love the color variety, the packaging and I LOVE the design of the barrels. Oh! And side-note, they have a thick barrel, so buy a sharpener that will fit. I recommend the portable, rechargeable, AFMAT, as seen in the pictures, because it adjusts to a bunch of different widths, Luminescence included. EDIT: I LOVE the White colored pencil! It actually goes over color.

Thank you.

These are very nice pencils, great color and pigmentation.A little pricey but very good quality.The packaging is beautiful

Love these pencils, worth the price.

Pricey but really nice boxed set of high-quality pencils

I am a colored pencil junkie lol!!! I am fairly new to them and only started using them in my portraits about 2 to 3 years ago. When I first started with them I was terrible I had to teach myself to use them so if your struggling with this be patient dont give up and practice practice practice!!! I have several brands Prismacolors ,faber-castell and these I love them all but with that said they preform differently. These are pricey so I wouldnt recommend them to start out with unless you are experienced and can afford them. They perform smoothly and with a light touch you can add and blend many many layers without destroying your paper or having the wax bloom effect unlike with prismacolors The colors are richer and brighter a must have for any color pencil artist or enthusiast. This Blue Carb I created with these pencils. I hope this is helpful :)

They are freaking expensive. That being said, they are a dream. They color like butter across paper. I would say you don’t have to work as hard coloring because they lay down color so easily. I have to say you don’t have to get a whole set but I feel like this set is well balanced. It has a good row of warm and cool tones and neutrals. Good for portraits? Most likely. And considering the light fastness ratings and high end materials put into these bad girls. Yeah I think these will archive well. Ok I’m done. Go buy them when the price is lower. I’ve been waiting for the price to go down. It’s done this a few times. Also packaging is wonderful. They will be staying in their box when I’m done coloring my drawings. Lol

Spent a lot of $$ for pencils that kept breaking... very disappointed and upset about this.

These colored pencils are so nice. They blend beautifully and I highly recommend saving up for them, or next time you have an Amazon gift card use it to buy these. Treat yourself to these high end pencils.

Caran d Ache Luminance colored pencils are high quality pencils the professionals artists are using. It is worth the price.
