Description

The Raphaël Textura Synthetic Brush Series has been created for artists who enjoy working with thick paint and expressive surface texture. Part of the Raphaël Textura range, this brush is engineered to perform with heavy-bodied acrylics and acrylic mediums, making it an excellent choice for impasto painting, textured effects, and mixed media applications.

Its specially developed synthetic fibres are short, firm, and highly resilient, providing the strength needed to manipulate dense paint without sacrificing precision. The fibres offer excellent responsiveness, allowing you to push, shape, and build paint while maintaining consistent control across every stroke.

Built for repeated use with abrasive acrylic paints and texture mediums, the durable synthetic fibres maintain their shape over time and perform well on canvas, wood panels, primed boards, and other prepared surfaces. The long handle provides comfortable balance for easel painting, while the nickel-plated brass ferrule ensures lasting strength and a secure bond between the handle and fibres.

Raphaël Textura Synthetic Filbert Brush Series 8702
The filbert profile combines the paint-carrying capacity of a flat brush with the softer, rounded tip of a round brush. This versatile shape is well suited to blending transitions, creating organic forms, softening edges, painting petals and foliage, and producing expressive marks that vary naturally with pressure and angle.

Whether you’re creating richly textured abstracts, contemporary mixed media works, expressive landscapes, or bold acrylic paintings, the Raphaël Textura Synthetic Filbert Brush Series 8702 offers the reliability, control, and durability needed to confidently explore dimensional painting techniques.

Care Tips for Longevity

• Rinse thoroughly with warm water after use.
• Use brush cleaner or mild soap especially after oil painting.
• Don’t let paint dry in the ferrule, that’s a common cause of damage.
• Reshape the bristles while damp before storing.
• Store handles upright or flat to keep tips precise.
• These brushes are forgiving and durable, but good care will keep them performing well for years.
