LUMINANCE 6901™ CREATIVE SET: A SPECIAL EDITION IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ARTIST OLIVER JEFFERS

When it comes to artistic expression, every detail matters. The Luminance 6901™ creative set is a perfect example of how attention to detail can characterise every element. In collaboration with the Maison Caran d'Ache, the artist and author Oliver Jeffers has designed this special edition set that thoughtfully brings together all the essential pieces for budding artists and all those who are passionate about art. Including eight Luminance 6901™ coloured pencils, a selection of other drawing instruments and an online class led by the artist himself, this ready-to-use set is much more than a box of coloured pencils. It's an invitation to explore, create and wonder at the magic of colours... around a campfire.

 

Oliver Jeffers is a renowned multidisciplinary artist whose works playfully, poetically and with characteristic humour explore how people see the world. He favours illustration, painting, collage, sculpture and even performance art. Jeffers appeals to a wide audience with his books translated and sold all over the world, and his works have been exhibited in major institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and the National Portrait Gallery.

As a Luminance 6901™ aficionado of many years, Oliver Jeffers agreed to this collaboration with Caran d'Ache and the creation of this exclusive set was the natural consequence. The artist has selected the colours he enjoys using on a daily basis and thereby invites us into his creative world.

The real stars of this selection are the eight Luminance 6901™ coloured pencils that have been carefully selected by Oliver Jeffers among the 100 colours of this iconic range. The palette developed by Oliver provides a subtle balance between vibrant shades, warm tones and touches of fluorescent colours.

In this special edition that puts the Luminance 6901™ range in the spotlight, every colour offers a unique creative potential allowing artists to explore a myriad of possibilities and let their imagination run free. Among these you'll find the colours Buff Titanium, French Grey, Raw Sienna, two shades of malachite green and three different blues (cobalt blue, Prussian blue and dark indigo).

As well as the Luminance 6901™ pencils the set contains a Graphicolor Bicolor two-colour pencil in yellow/ HB graphite. This writing instrument provides an interesting duality between the fluorescent yellow at one end and the HB graphite lead on the other, which will allow you to play with contrasts. This two-colour pencil is ideal as you can do your preliminary sketches with the graphite pencil and then add depth and light to your drawing with the fluorescent yellow. In a similar way, the artist has added to this creative set a fluorescent pink Maxi pencil which will bring a bright and audacious touch to all your drawings.

While the products contained within the Luminance 6901™ creative set stand out because of the range of colours, they are also characterised by their high Swiss Made quality. The Luminance 6901™ coloured pencils are made with FSC™ certified cedar wood which is comfortable to grip and highly resistant even when regularly used. The permanent 3.8 mm (approximately an 1/8 of an inch) lead allows for precise lines and homogeneous coverage, while their resistance to light in accordance to the ASTM D-6901 standards guarantees that the colours in your works of art will last up to 100 years.

All creative people will be delighted to discover within this new set an exclusive QR code that will take you to an online class facilitated by Oliver Jeffers himself.

The online class called "Campfire" is available on the Creative Class by Caran d'Ache platform and offers participants complete immersion in Oliver Jeffers' creative world.

As well as learning how to create a campfire scene with the colours selected for this set, participants will get a unique glance into the way the artist breathes life into his works, between fantasy and reality.

 

The Luminance 6901™ creative set, developed in collaboration with the artist Oliver Jeffers, is much more than a simple selection of artistic tools: it is an invitation for daring spirits and lovers of colour to go on a creative adventure.
