    • In creating the listing CPSA likewise defined which pencils it has tested for lightfastness - but this is NOT the same equally statements yesteryear CPSA equally to which pencils they regard equally lightfast.  I've seen the examination results in addition to some brands produce poorly amongst honor to surely colours in addition to entirely a few produce good inwards relation to surely colours.  (If you're concerned almost lightfastness, it's good worth joining CPSA only to larn the CPSA Lightfastness Handbook!)
  • "Suitable for artists" is usually used equally a proxy for a surely lineament of pencil intended for artists in addition to fine art (eg paint rich, lightfast) - rather than students or children.  Clearly some of the pencils inwards the listing are designed for students or children in addition to would commonly non hold upward considered to hold upward suitable for artists / fine fine art per se.  However it should hold upward noted that fifty-fifty eminent artists when working inwards other media produce non e'er select to work media which volition rest robust in addition to hold color over time!

Matters arising

I know something of the reasons why CPSA thought that the creation of this listing would hold upward a proficient thought - notwithstanding I'm non surely of the value of where it's ended up.

How almost you?  Do you lot hollo back it's a proficient idea? Here are some questions for you lot to ponder on:
  • Is defining products which tin hold upward used for artwork entries to an International Exhibition yesteryear a national fine art social club a proficient idea?
  • Is in that place value inwards defining pencils clearly designed for children equally 'legal' for artwork to hold upward entered inwards the International Exhibition of an fine art social club which aims to heighten the profile for coloured pencil equally media for fine art?
  • Do you lot hollo back "legal" mightiness add together value to a brand?
  • Is "legal" probable to hold upward confused amongst "lightfast" in addition to "suitable for artists"?
  • How tin CPSA examination whether or non "legal" pencils conduct hold been used?
  • Do whatever of the exclusions surprise you?

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