As was pointed out in the comments (thank you!), the landscape and marine scape sets are from Caran d'Ache's Museum Aquarelle collection, and not the Luminance. I knew I'd seen them somewhere! My mistake, sorry. 🥴

Just so you know, depending on skin tone, you can use the green as an under layer. I know they do that in oil painting.

Thank you for this review of this beautiful Set of Carand'ache Luminance portrait set. Greens are used for shadows and underlayers, so in each layer, you can get better results in terms of contrast, and they add fascinating colors to the faces! I love the variety of these pencils! Thanks for this review!

Finally! An Oxide of Chromium green! This is a perfect shade for green leaves. What I like about these colours are the sensible names. "Lemon Yellow" for example means a yellow with green undertones. Other companies name their colours meaningless and confusing names. Wonderful review, by the way! 😊😊

As I have 6 of these pencils I watched this video to see how you blended/mixed them... which is why I was surprised you didn't create a 'dark' with your indanthrene blue and a red pencil, or the indanthrene with the phthalocyanine green... I am only interested in watercolours so when I bought my Luminance pencils the first thing I did was blend them to see what colour mixes I could get out of them, however I have no idea if that is how these coloured pencils are meant to be used seeing as there are sooo many colours...
@BeckyTregear4 жыл бұрын
You could definitely do those mixes, I'm sure! I was massively tired when I did this so my brain wasn't switched on and I just used the more obvious colours, lol.😂 When I get extra time I might do some experimentation to see what other colour combos I can come up with. Pencils don't tend to mix as easily as paints, but these ones do layer on top of each other pretty well.

Bien video, pero el Crizzola blue y ultramarine deberas decepcionan en mi set estan secos no cubren ni se pueden mezclar entre sí. Los demas al menos estan bien. Esos 2 yo los quiero comprar por separado junto a otros tonos azul y celestes y espero esos 2 lapices que me tocaron secos y defectuosos sean solo de mi caja y no los que venden por separado, hasta el momento todos lps grises y negro blanco y azul de payne que compré por unidad me tocaron excelentes, cubren muy bien y se mezclan muy bien. Le pediré a la de la tienda que priebe el crizzola blue y el ultramarine en una hoja y si es seco y no cubren bien entonces es un defecto de fábarica en todos los lapices de esos tonos. Sería terrible porque no se pueden usar, son como carboncillo no cubren ni se impregnan en la cartulina y los demás del set sí ¡¡Saludos!!, el set lo adquirí hace unas semanas

They probably just updated the packaging as they tend to do every few years. You could easily check on the Caran Dache website. See if their 40 set looks like yours, or you could email the company.
