Watercolour Brush Raphaël Petit Gris – Caran d’Ache

The Caran D’Ache (by) Raphaël 803 Petit Gris Pur Watercolour wash brush is made with pure Kazan Squirrel hair and is naturally very soft. This mop brush holds a large amount of water and high paint load but retains a fine point for line work and smaller, more precise brush strokes. This watercolour mop is a very versatile brush and creates beautifully large washes as well as finer work. Properly cared for, this brush will last and maintain its performance for a long time. The 803 series has been extremely popular and has become a studio essential for many.

This traditional brush shape used by the masters of old features a hand-tied quill ferrule and a short, natural lacquered handle.  This No 4 brush has a diameter of 11mm and a brush tuft length of 34mm.
