Detailed results available here: https://sarahrenaeclark.com/lightfast-testing-pencils/ Member's Only Aftershow: Coming in a few hours! Every new coloured pencil brand is claiming that their pencils are "lightfast"... but I'm not convinced. So I've spent the past 6 months testing and tracking my pencils while they fade in the sunlight, and the results were surprising! A huge thank you to @ssavaart for contributing to this video. And to Seaton and the Colored Pencil Society of America for showing me the official process and for all the work their team of volunteers do. You can find out more about them here: https://cpsa.org/ See the full breakdown of results on my blog: https://sarahrenaeclark.com/lightfast-testing-pencils/ The "Part 2" blog is coming next week, with all the specifics on my methodology and how it compares to official lightfast testing methods.

Some of the pencils and markers tested have been given to me in the past for other videos, not for the purpose of this video specifically. These are: Arrtx, Black Widow Monarch, Derwent Chromaflow, Karin, Ohuhu, OLO, Sharpie, Spectrum Noir, Staedtler, Talens, Winsor & Newton, and Woomer. All views are my own. Corrections: Derwent Chromaflow's final results slide shows incorrect BW and LF grades. The correct BW grades from top to bottow are: BW7, BW6, BW6, BW5, BW6, BW4, BW5, BW6, BW6, BW6, BW7.
