Raphaël Precision Watercolour Brushes

Raphaël Kaërell “S” Acryl brushes are premium synthetic brushes engineered to feel and perform like natural sable hair, but made from modern polyamide fibres. They were developed after several years of research so the fibres give artists excellent suppleness, elasticity and responsiveness for acrylic painting and other fluid techniques. Each brush marked with “S” is individually tested to ensure consistent quality.

• Kaërell “S” polyamide synthetic fibres: Extra-supple golden synthetic hair designed to imitate the look and functional behaviour of natural sable. They give a soft feel under the bristles while offering good paint holding and release.
• Nickel-plated brass ferrule: Strong and durable metal fitting that holds the fibres securely.
• Long lacquered handle: Classic orange lacquered wood with a brown tip for an ergonomic feel and balanced control.
• Soft, flexible fibres: The Kaërell “S” synthetic hairs give a soft stroke that still has enough spring and shape for controlled detailing and smoother colour lay-downs.
• Precise point and responsiveness: Despite being synthetic, the fibres taper well for fine lines and controlled shapes, letting you achieve delicate transitions or crisp edges in acrylic painting.
• Good paint retention and release: The fibres hold more medium than many basic synthetics, giving a softer feel and smoother application.
• Versatile wet media use: While optimised for acrylics, these brushes also work well for gouache, watercolour and diluted oil techniques thanks to their balanced synthetic fibre performance.

Raphaël Kaërell “S” Acryl brushes are premium synthetic brushes that offer softness, precise control and versatility for acrylic painting and other fluid media. They feel close to natural hair without the care demands and give artists a reliable tool for detail, washes and smooth layering.

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.
