Raphaël Kevrin+ Acrylic & Oil Brushes

Raphaël Kevrin+ brushes are a range of high-performance synthetic brushes designed to mimic classic mongoose-style hair. They combine the control and spring of natural hair with the durability and ease of care of synthetics. Raphaël developed the Kevrin+ fibres to give artists a reliable, smooth brush that works beautifully with oil and acrylic paints.

The Kevrin+ series sits in Raphaël’s mid-to-premium range, often chosen by professionals and serious hobbyists who paint with heavier media. These brushes are made in France using Raphaël’s traditional brush-making craftsmanship.

• Kevrin+ synthetic fibre blend: A proprietary mix engineered to emulate the best qualities of natural mongoose hair. These fibres have good spring, excellent paint pickup and smooth release.
• Sturdy ferrules: Usually copper or nickel plated, keeping the bristles secure through heavy use.
• Short or long handles: Depending on purpose; longer handles are common for studio oil and acrylic work.
• Good paint pickup and release: Kevrin+ fibres hold paint well and lay it down smoothly, so you get consistent coverage with every stroke.
• Responsive spring: The brush fibres return to shape quickly and predictably, which helps maintain crisp edges and controlled lines.
• Durable and easy to clean: Unlike natural hair, synth-based Kevrin+ stands up well to acrylic polymers and oil medium without swelling or deforming.
• Versatile performance: These brushes handle a range of techniques from fine detail and contouring to textured strokes and broader shapes, depending on shape and size.

Raphaël Kevrin+ brushes are excellent all-round synthetic brushes for oil and acrylic painting. They offer reliable performance, good paint handling and easy maintenance, perfect for artists who want strong control without the extra care demands of natural hair. Whether someone is layering bold colours or working on expressive brushwork, the Kevrin+ series fits many painting approaches beautifully.

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.
