Caran dAche Luminance 6901 Clr Pncl Set 76 Artist Rng

These blend so well. I use them in mixed media pieces with watercolor. Theyre so pigmented, and you dont have to press hard to get good color. I cant wait to practice more with these. Theyre such a pleasure to use.

Wow!

If you are a professional artist dont hate me for buying these. (If it helps as someone who is retired/disabled, my hobbies seem ever more limited!) I waited and waited for a couple years and then after having the Pablos about 6 months and watching more YouTube reviews as well as written reviews, I bought these as my Christmas present. I was prepared to love them and I dont. Why? I find them to be very dry and chalky. You can literally hear the scratch, scratch as you lay down color. No matter how I sharpen, or hold the tip to paper (never straight down), I get the scratch that I am used to with Derwent Studio that is intended for fine detail work. I dont think they layer all that well either. I would give 5 stars to the white titanium pencil for blending. It is superior. The other complaint is that the end cap is not indicative of the color, so it will take you a while to know which one to grab automatically. A color chart will help, but I admit to being lazy as well as having a very good memory so with my other pencils I know what the color of each will look like. I have started doing projects where I use only one makers pencil so I can compare. I did buy 10 of the pencils open stock before purchasing the set which I highly recommend to everyone, but particularly to the nonprofessionals!

Thank you.

C’aran D’ache Luminance are very soft (comparable to Prismacolor) and blends quite easily and well. The C’aran D’ach quality is top notch in tne market, higher than most other top brands avaliable. It sharpens well withouth too much cracks and broken tips during tne process (in this way is much better than Prismacolor). I have most of BIG sets of best brands, and this one specifically is one of the best.

These are in the top three pencils on the market. Caren Dache makes excellent products. Theyre a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Theyre smooth, and heavy pigment to boot. If you cant afford the whole set, then just get a couple of pencils, especially the white. Highly recommended for serious colored pencil artists.

2 day Prime delivery, arrived in perfect condition. FABULOUS pencils!

Love working with these pencils

The colors blend easily, and are easy to lay down smooth, even colors.

Excellent pencils and I got a good price using a gift card.
