Watercolour

The 803, an iconic Raphael brush

Shape : Pointed mop
Fibers : Squirrel
Use : The 803 pointed mop is the essential paint to do superb colour washes.

This watercolour wash brush is made with Squirrel hair, the finest natural bristles that can be found. The 803 is one of Raphael’s bestsellers.
This watercolour wash brush allows very long brushstrokes without having to return to the palette colours thanks to its unsurpassed capillarity. The tuft spontaneously gathers together and forms a point, as if by magic.
Natural quill, short plain wood varnished handle, this brush is indivisible of Raphael story.

SOFTAQUA : Fiber holding twice as much color than a classic synthetic wash-drawing brush.

Softaqua fibre is a technical innovation created thanks to the collaboration between artists and the Raphael’s research and development department. The result of this research is an exceptional synthetic fibre offering unequalled colour carrying capacity. The wavy fibercatches the water molecules and the colour, contrary to the classic synthetic fibres which are straight and lined up. Thus, thanks to this innovative wavy form, a Softaqua brush holds twice as much color.
