The Softaqua fiber is a technical innovation born from the collaboration of artists with the Raphaël Research & Development department. The result of this research is an exceptional synthetic fiber offering unmatched retention capacity. The wavy shape of this fiber creates spaces that hold water molecules and color, unlike conventional synthetic fibers, straight and aligned, which let them slide. Thus, thanks to this innovative undulation, the Softaqua brushes retain twice as much color.

The Softaqua range is built for painters who want the fluid, water-retentive behaviour of natural hair in a synthetic brush. The fibres are engineered to hold a generous charge of water and release it smoothly, making them well suited to wet-on-wet techniques, soft washes and expressive work where paint needs to flow freely across the paper. Bristle mops deliver a soft, diffuse mark ideal for atmospheric backgrounds and loose colour fields. Rounds cover the range from detail to mid-scale work, and the flat and spalter formats handle broad coverage and background laying efficiently. A practical and accessible alternative to natural hair for painters who want reliable wash performance without the cost of sable or squirrel.
