Oil painting puts more mechanical stress on a brush than most other mediums: thick paint, heavy pressure and solvent cleaning all take a toll on fibres over time. Raphaël oil brushes are built to handle that demand. Hog hair brushes provide the stiffness needed to move heavy paint across canvas without the brush collapsing under pressure, the standard choice for impasto work and direct painting. Sable brushes offer a softer touch for glazing, detail work and smoother blending where a stiffer bristle would leave too much texture. Synthetic brushes cover both oil and acrylic use, making them a versatile option for painters who work across mediums. Large spalters round out the selection for ground application and varnishing.
