Caran d’Ache Luminance Colour Pencil Portrait Set of 20
ZOFIVE
Caran d’Ache Luminance Colour Pencil Portrait Set of 20 is a curated artist colour pencil set designed for portraiture, figure drawing and detailed coloured-pencil artwork.
The set brings together a focused selection of colours suited to developing skin tones, complexion, facial features, hair, shadows and highlights. A dedicated portrait palette makes it easier to build layered colour and subtle tonal transitions without having to assemble a portrait palette from individual pencils.
Use the set for realistic portraits, faces, figure studies, character illustration, fashion illustration, hands, arms and detailed human features. The colours can be layered to create nuanced complexion variations, from lighter highlights and mid-tones to deeper warm and cool shadows.
For portrait artists, layering is particularly important when creating convincing skin. Combine warm flesh and earth tones with pinks, reds, ochres and browns to develop complexion, while cooler tones can help establish reflected light, form and deeper shadows.
The pencils can also be used beyond portraiture for animal artwork, botanical details, still life, fashion sketches and other subjects requiring warm neutrals and subtle tonal variation.
The 20-colour format is well suited to artists who want a dedicated portrait palette while retaining the flexibility of individual colour pencils for detailed work, blending and layering.
