Raphael 845 Softaqua Synthetic Round
Raphael's Softaqua brush range features exceptional synthetic fibres that offer a retention capacity equal to no other. The undulant shape of the fibre creates spaces which hold the water molecules, as opposed to conventional synthetic fibres which are straight and slippery. This is why the Softaqua brushes can hold twice as much color, thanks to these innovative wavy fibres. They allow extended painting without having to return to the palette.
Excellent for watercolours, inks, gouache, tempera, think acrylic and silk painting.
Brush Head: Round
Fibre: Synthetic
Use: For washes and details
Handle: Nickel-coated brass ferrule, short black matt varnished handle.
