Caran d’Ache Luminance 6901 Portrait Colours Set of 20 is a carefully selected range of professional coloured pencils designed specifically for portrait work. Featuring a balanced mix of warm and cool flesh tones alongside deeper shadow colours, this set allows artists to create natural skin tones, subtle transitions and realistic depth.
Ideal for portraiture, figurative work and wildlife subjects, the set includes a versatile palette that makes it easier to capture lifelike colour, from delicate highlights through to rich shadows. The soft 3.8mm leads deliver smooth, controlled application, making layering and blending effortless.
Like all Luminance 6901 pencils, these colours offer exceptional lightfastness, with the majority rated ASTM D-6901 Lightfastness I. This ensures your artwork remains vibrant over time, making the set suitable for professional use, commissions and exhibition work.
The pencils are presented in a foam-lined cardboard box, helping to protect both the pencils and their leads during storage and transport.
