Raphael 357 Paris Classic Oil Brush Hog Long Flat
A timeless brush derived from France’s great brush-making tradition, the Paris Classic combines authenticity and perfection. This elegant brush has been popular with even the most demanding artists since the 19th century and is Raphael's most famous brush. It has not changed since then and still offers the same properties of a high-quality fibre (rigorous preparation of “fine white” hog bristles which are boiled three times to ensure perfect spring preparation and long-term artist satisfaction. ), making it a favourite with modern artists.
The hair has a cohesive working nature making each stroke smooth from start to finish. Unlike conventional interlocked bristle, the straight hair has no tendency to split after the stroke.
