For artists who want to find in a synthetic brush the exceptional qualities of Kolinsky sable brushes, Raphaël has imagined STRADIVARIUS: an elegant black design brush with an exclusive synthetic fiber that imitates Kolinsky to perfection. The fibre is slightly corrugated, which gives it an excellent retention capacity. The use of a mixture of fibers of different diameters adapted to each brush size gives the tuft nervousness and spring, therefore a very good shape memory with the brush. The know-how associated with experience and dexterity of our pincers that manually mount each brush guarantee a perfect point that allows to achieve the finest strokes. Like its natural counterpart, the fiber is flexible and suitable for all fluid mediums. It is ideal for watercolor or ink work. Less fragile, it is easy to clean, which ensures a long life with a properly maintained brush. To make its use even more pleasant, the handle has a matte finish that makes it soft to touch.

Raphaël brushes built for every medium and technique.

Raphaël is a French brush manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for bristle quality and construction precision. The range covers all three major painting disciplines: watercolour brushes in natural and synthetic fibres for water retention and fine point work; acrylic brushes in synthetic fibres designed to hold their shape through repeated use and cleaning; and oil brushes in hog hair, sable and synthetic for moving thick paint across canvas. Every shape is represented: rounds, flats, filberts, liners, fans, spalters and mops, from miniature detail sizes to large wash formats.

Choosing the right Raphaël brush for the work.

Natural hair brushes are the benchmark for watercolour: they hold a large volume of water, release it evenly and snap back to a fine point. Synthetic fibres offer a more accessible option that performs well across watercolour, acrylic and gouache. For oil and heavy body acrylic, hog hair provides the stiffness needed to move paint without the brush losing its shape under pressure. Travel sets and curated brush sets offer a practical starting point for painters building their first Raphaël kit. Browse Raphaël Watercolour Brushes, Raphaël Acrylic Brushes and Raphaël Oil Brushes.
