I have also completed a review of these beautiful Caran D'ache Luminance pencils on my YouTube channelwhere I have conducted a few test's which are better witnessed, so if you are interested follow the link and watch the video. Caran d’Ache added 24 colours to their lightfast range of 76 coloured pencils. It is therefore a range of 100 lightfast coloured pencils.I wonder how much research has gone into the colour selection as they offer a great range ofpale tones and bright, vibrant colours.There are very few pencil ranges that offer such subtle tones of browns and greys, perfect for pet & portraiture work which is the basis of the majority of my pencil work. I also like the fact that they make these pencils with cedar wood that is FSC certified making them a very eco-friendly pencil range" If you have a set of the previous 76 range of pencils, you can find out more about them in a previous blog post. For animal artists, the Luminance range provides a wide range of neutral tones. Incorporating a wide range of browns and greys which animal artists use regularly, they provide a useful selection of 'barely there' colour tints such as Buff Titanium (801) and Silver grey (002), through to the deeper tones like Sepia (407) and Payne's grey (508). So, if you’ve make your own charts – that’s great. But – as is practical, you might also have your charts in one physical place while you draw in another. You need to have access to the colours where you are – hopefully, you’ll be there with internet access and your mobile, tablet or laptop. Interactive Luminance colour chart
