Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 Pencil Portrait Set of 20

The 20 colours in this set are gorgeous; there were some colours I was delighted to see, for example, the Dark Indigo. The dark blue range for coloured pencil artists is relatively essential, given the reluctance to use black directly.

Luminance 6901 is highly sought after by drawing masters from every creative sector; the subtle velvety effect of the new permanent pencil, and 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.

The line is created according to the criteria laid down by the Swiss Made label and eco-friendly standards, thereby demonstrating Maison’s steadfast ethical commitment.
