Coloured Pencils - Colours and colour charts
- Making a Mark: Coloured Pencils - Colour Comparison Charts
- Bob Ebdon (founder/webmaster UKCPS)has produced some new colour comparison charts.
The main advantage of these new Colour Comparison Charts over others I have seen is that these charts compare (side by side) seven different brands from six different manufacturers in a number of colour groups.
All colours are keyed to the range of colours in the discontinued Karisma range. - Faber Castell Polychromos - colour chart
- A pdf file of the colour chart for the Faber Castell polychromos range.
This colour chart lists all colours plus numbers against a block of colour which is - at least on my screen - very accurate as to the colour in reality - Making a Mark: How green is my coloured pencil collection?
- How green is my pencil collection? Well, given I particularly like drawing gardens and landscapes it's pretty green!
I did a couple of sample pages of my greens a little while ago when it was announced that the Karisma pencils were definitely being discontinued in the UK. I wanted to see what my choice was in terms of what I was left with. Here are all my green pencils - as they were then - laid out in a very rough colour sample chart by brand on two pages of my sketchbook (the pages of which are a pale creamy colour). - Making a Mark: Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils

- Making a Mark: How lightfast are your artist grade coloured pencils?
- I tested my coloured pencils recently against the ratings for lightfastness in the CPSA Lightfastness Workbook Version 4 - and got a VERY BIG SURPRISE. You can see it in the picture in this post which include all my coloured pencils which did NOT make the cut because they are NOT listed in the CPSA Lightfastness Workbook as having an acceptable level of lightfastness. These are the ones which were in use and the picture excludes those that were in reserve and those which I've left in their boxes. Overall, we're talking a LOT of pencils - and a lot of money which has been spent on them.
- Lightfastness Testing
- LIGHTFASTNESS RATING - HOW IT'S DONE: A statment by CPSA about the work they have been doing with the ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials), colored pencil manufacturers and art conservators towards the development of a standard of lightfastness for colored pencils.
- CPSA: Lighfastness standard achieved
- This CPSA press release (7.11.03) announces the achievement of a standard for testing the lightfastness of coloured pencils.
- ASTM D6901-06 Standard Specification for Artists COLORED PENCILS
- ACTIVE STANDARD: Pages: 5, Price: $ 35.00
This specification establishes requirements for composition, performance, and labeling of artists' COLORED PENCILS. It covers vehicles and additives. Requirements are included for identification, lightfastness, and consistency. COLORED pencil specimens are exposed to both natural daylight through window glass and simulated window glass-filtered daylight radiation to determine the lightfastness rating for each pencil. - ASTM D4303-06 Standard Test Methods for Lightfastness of Colorants Used in Artists Materials
- This is the test standard applicable to manufacturers (as opposed to art technologists)
Four test methods are used to approximate the color change that can be expected over time in colorants used in artists' materials exposed indoors to daylight through window glass.
The color changes that result from accelerated exposure may not duplicate the results of normal indoor exposure in a home, art gallery, or museum. The relative resistance to change, however, can be established so colored materials can be assigned to categories of relative lightfastness. - ASTM D5383-02(2003) Standard Practice for Visual Determination of the Lightfastness of Art Materials by Art Technologists
- This practice covers a method for exposing specimens of colored art materials indoors to sunlight coming through a closed window. A card containing eight Blue Wool References is exposed simultaneously. Blue Wool References 3, 6, and 7, are used as controls in determining when to remove test specimens from exposure and rate them. Test specimens are rated by assigning each specimen the number of the Blue Wool Reference that shows the same amount of color change.
This practice may be used to indicate art materials that will change color within a few months or years in normal indoor exposure and those that will remain unchanged for a period of years. It is not rigorous enough to verify that materials will remain unchanged for more than fifty years in a home or office environment. A major consideration in developing this method was to keep it simple and short enough to be preformed without instrumentation in a comparatively short length of time. - Review of Prismacolor Premiere Lightfast Colored Pencils
- An independent unsponsored review of Prismacolor Premier Lightfast Colored Pencils by Bet Borgeson, artist, author.
- Bet Borgeson: Checking Colored Pencils for Lightfastness
- All art media, including oil and watercolor, have colors that fade or change with exposure to ultraviolet and visible light. This easy five-step test procedure can provide a better understanding of which of your own colors are resistant to light, without needing expensive test equipment or kits.
- Sarah Longrigg's lightfastness experiments on black paper
- This is an example of what one artist has done and records her results for Caran d'Ache, Derwent, Faber Castell and Schwann Stabilo. The colours have been used on Canford black paper, framed, and exposed in a window for a minimum of 2.5 years
- Making a Mark: Colourfastness in coloured pencils
- Results of a lighfastness test conducted in Brazil by Lucio Rubira
- How to Do a Simple Lightfastness Test for a Paint Color
- An explanation of how to do a simple or basic lightfastness test to see how stable a paint color is. (The basic approach is also applicable to coloured pencils)
- handprint : doing your own lightfastness tests
- The technical specifications, testing equipment and coding schemes that make industry lightfastness tests look difficult shouldn't scare you from doing tests of your own. Testing paints requires no more skill than making a small painting and framing it
- The Identification of Organic Pigments in Colored Pencils
- A National Center for Preservation Technology and Training Grant to the American Society for Testing and Materials' Subcommittee on Artists' Paints and Related Materials (ASTM D01.57), with shared support from the Kress Foundation, has resulted in a large file of new information about organic pigments used in artists' coloring materials.

Colored Pencil Solution Book
This book focuses on answering lots of common questions asked by artists wanting to learn more about how to use coloured pencils - plus provides the answers to some questions people frequently haven't yet thought to ask. The book focuses on basic art concepts and how these translate into practice when using coloured pencils e.g. when to use complementary colours and how to create them. Plus how to achieve realistic textures in everything from fuzzy peaches to metallic finishes. This book has had a huge influence on a lot of artists' work - and my only criticism is there is a bit too much evidence around of people having read this book! It also contains a useful section which addresses what to do if you encounter some of the more common problems which crop up from time to time. Both the authors are well respected coloured pencil artists who are signature members of CPSA. Check out their step by step lessons also on this site

- Blending is a key skill for the CP artist. Many artists rely on using a very light touch, and putting many layers of pencil one on top of another. As long as this is done smoothly, the eye will blend the final result into one homogeneous colour or gradation of colour and you need do no blending at all. If you want to help this process along then you could use one of many aids listed in this article.
- UKCPS - Burnishing by Bob Ebdon
- A dictionary says burnishing means "to make shiny or smooth; to polish".
Few topics in coloured pencil techniques have more mystique associated with them than burnishing. The trouble is, burnishing means different things to different people-or maybe there are just lots of different ways to do it.
Bob Ebdon - founder and webmaster of UKCPS - has written this article to explain and demonstrate aspects of burnishing. - Making a Mark: Printing press choices - an interview with Belinda del Pesco

Coloured Pencils - Wax Bloom
What is it and what can you do about it?
Artists using oil based pencils don't experience wax bloom.
- David Deen WebStudio : IMPrint Issue 12
- David Deen's Web Studio features the fantasy artwork of David Deen.
This part of his site describes what to do about wax bloom. - Colored Pencil Tip - Wax Bloom
- A colored pencil drawing tip - find out what to do about wax bloom. Wax bloom is a white haze that appears across heavily worked colored pencil drawings as a layer of the wax medium forms on the surface.
- Colored Pencil: Fixative by Christine Taylor
- The wax from wax-based pencils will "bloom" out of a colored pencil work over time, especially if the work has been burnished...The dusty white wax bloom may be gently wiped from the work with a soft tissue, once again revealing the colors. However, since it's best to handle artwork sparingly, there are times when prevention is the road to take.
So the question begins: When to fix? When not to fix? For me, the answer lies in the product itself. - Categories of Wax-Based Drawing Media

Painting With Water-Soluble Colored Pencils
As a teacher of coloured pencil workshops, Gary Greene sees his students buying water-soluble pencils "by the truckload." Problem is, they don't know how to use the medium or even what it's capable of...and until now, there's never been a book to teach them. In this much-requested book, Greene shows artists how to achieve a variety of different effects with this fascinating medium - from loose, watercolour-like washes to precise airbrush looks. The author, along with 6 guest artists, show how they use the medium in 18 complete painting demonstrations.

- Making a Mark: CPSA and UKCPS: originality in concept, design and execution
- The building blocks of original work by an artist are concept, design and execution.
The emphasis of the new rules for CPSA and UKCPS (see yesterday's post) is on work submitted for competition being solely the work of the artist ie original work. But what does this all mean? I noticed quite a few questions coming up yesterday about what is and is it not OK.
So today I'm going to try and do an overview - from my own perspective. Irrespective of whether or not you are involved in or following the current debate about the changes in the CPSA/UKCPS rules, this topic is likely to interest a lot of people and you may also have a view. So - here goes - feel free to jump in with a comment about your own perspective on this. - Making a Mark: The rules for the 2008 exhibitions of coloured pencil art

Guy - I checked your site and couldn't find any reference at all to either Prismacolor or Verithin pencils under 'pencils' - although I could spot the Col-Erase. So your claim to being "the only UK stockist of Prismacolor pencils" is downright odd. Posted June 17, 2008 |
Can I add my company www.paperpeople.co.uk 01363 85050 we are currently the only UK stockist of Primacolor Pencils as well as Col-Erase, Derwent, Berol Verithin and much more.
