Caran dAche Luminance 6901 Clr Pncl Set 76 Artist Rng

Although oils, acrylics and pen and ink are my weapons of choice, I have also used color pencils since the 1960s, and finally decided to take the plunge and blow my budget on Luminance. (Ive been experimenting with many brands since my retirement.) I must agree that they are right at the top of the wax-based crowd. Its funny, but the first thing I thought of when I tested them was that they reminded me of the Prismacolors I had 50 years ago. Prismas were relatively expensive in those days, too. I had wondered where those excellent pencils had gone, and now I know. They moved to Switzerland and changed their name. The Luminance is not a tool for coloring books at this price but they do live up to the hype. Its just too bad Prismacolor was sold to a company that regards them as a sideline, or they could still be up there too.

I have a lot of colored pencils but these are the best. Color goes on buttery smooth, the colors are gorgeous!! Worth the money.

Wanted to order these for quite a while and finally did, so happy with the product. Very vibrant, light fast, and an excellent addition to my collection of colored pencils. I would definitely recommend these.

The pencils are perfect! The box that it came with had a huge tear across at the back. Had to tape it up. Otherwise the pencils are a dream to work with

You cant go wrong with Luminance. Very pigmented. who does not love this pencils? This was my second set. #046 cassel Earth has weird texture to them on both set. So I guess its just like that for all of them . Other then that, love it.

These and their watercolor partners, the museum aquarelles are a must-have for anyone wanting to do colored pencil art. These, Holbeins for pastels, and Faber Castells for oil based, and the three top brands for the most beautiful work one can do. I also like Derwent inktense for special effects. Derwent has some colored pencils made for detail work and Caran dache Pablos and Supracolors are great to have on hand too.

Came across these pencils through a review through YouTube. They seem like amazing pencils and are one of the neat. So I decided to purchase a set to try it out. The overall presentation is very nice and well package to protect the pencils. There are 2 things that lead to the rating given. First one is that the blender immediately snapped in two when I was sharping it. The other reason is that the price is too high. They are great pencils, yes, but the price isn’t justices for them. Polychromos are expensive but you truly get your moneys worth as you get a larger variety of colors and pencils for the same price. Overall, amazing pencils but the price is not justified.

Love these pencils. Delivered in perfect condition. Blend smoothly

This is the most expensive colored pencils I’ve ever bought and yet I’ve found 5 or more pencils that are “scratchy”. Like it scratch the paper and the color hardly comes out. I expect it to be creamy and smooth. I’m not sure if mine is defective. I would expect with this brand to have good product quality control. Bummed.

love it
