Legal AND Lightfast together with Suitable for Artists?

"Legal" together with "lightfast" together with "suitable for artists" are 3 unlike sets of credentials.  This listing entirely relates to the showtime category.
This criterion specification establishes character requirements for composition, performance, together with labeling of artists' colored pencils. This specification too covers vehicles together with additives. Labeling requirements shall include fellowship or build name, identification number, province of origin, color index names, lightfastness, pencil type, lift together with address of manufacturer, constitution number, toxicity, together with contestation of conformance. Additives for colored pencils shall include thickeners, preservatives, surfactants, wax, oil, together with humectants.

    • see department on Lightfastness inward Coloured Pencils - Resources for Artists
    • In creating the listing CPSA too defined which pencils it has tested for lightfastness - but this is NOT the same equally statements past times CPSA equally to which pencils they regard equally lightfast.  I've seen the examination results together with some brands create poorly amongst abide by to for sure colours together with entirely a few create good inward relation to for sure colours.  (If you're concerned nearly lightfastness, it's good worth joining CPSA simply to larn the CPSA Lightfastness Handbook!)
  • "Suitable for artists" is usually used equally a proxy for a for sure character of pencil intended for artists together with fine art (eg paint rich, lightfast) - rather than students or children.  Clearly some of the pencils inward the listing are designed for students or children together with would ordinarily non locomote considered to locomote suitable for artists / fine fine art per se.  However it should locomote noted that fifty-fifty eminent artists when working inward other media create non ever pick out to work media which volition stay robust together with keep color over time!

Matters arising

I know something of the reasons why CPSA thought that the creation of this listing would locomote a expert thought - even together with thence I'm non for sure of the value of where it's ended up.

How nearly you?  Do you lot recall it's a expert idea? Here are some questions for you lot to ponder on:
  • Is defining products which tin locomote used for artwork entries to an International Exhibition past times a national fine art gild a expert idea?
  • Is in that place value inward defining pencils clearly designed for children equally 'legal' for artwork to locomote entered inward the International Exhibition of an fine art gild which aims to enhance the profile for coloured pencil equally media for fine art?
  • Do you lot recall "legal" mightiness add together value to a brand?
  • Is "legal" probable to locomote confused amongst "lightfast" together with "suitable for artists"?
  • How tin CPSA examination whether or non "legal" pencils create got been used?
  • Do whatsoever of the exclusions surprise you?

I've got my ain views - but I'd locomote interested to listen yours.
