The Raphael Precision Watercolour Brush range is designed for artists who want outstanding control, crisp lines, and beautifully smooth colour flow. Made in France, these professional synthetic brushes mimic the snap, spring, and liquid-holding ability of natural hair, while offering excellent durability and reliability over time. They keep a sharp point or clean edge, making them ideal for everything from flowing washes to delicate detailing. No drama. Just beautifully behaved brushes that do what you want them to do.
The range includes round, fine liner, retouching, flat, and angular shapes, so you can build a complete and versatile brush selection. The round brushes offer a precise tip with a generous belly for strong colour load, perfect for line work, glazing, and controlled strokes. Fine liner brushes provide needle-like precision for crisp detailing and delicate highlights. Retouching brushes give exceptional control for miniature work, small corrections, or subtle blending. Flat brushes are excellent for smooth washes, sharper edges, and blocking-in. Angular brushes allow elegant sweeping strokes and controlled edging, making them especially handy for petals, lettering, and angled shading.
Each brush features high-performance synthetic fibres that retain their shape beautifully, along with comfortable handles and secure nickel-plated ferrules. Sizes run from 2/0 through to 12 depending on the brush shape, making it easy to choose the right tool for refined detailing or broader strokes.

Raphaël Precision brushes are a range of synthetic watercolour brushes designed to mimic the performance of natural sable hair while offering excellent shape retention and fine control. They use advanced imitation sable fibres engineered to spring back to a sharp point and deliver consistent, precise marks. These are ideal for artists who love clean lines and detailed work but prefer a reliable synthetic option.
Synthetic “imitation sable” fibres. These are designed to replicate the softness, snap and fine point of natural sable hair without the animal content. Artists often describe them as having a “shape memory” because they return to their sharp point after every stroke.
Nickel‑plated ferrule: Durable and corrosion‑resistant, holding bristles securely for long‑term use.
Short, varnished wooden handles: Comfortable and balanced for controlled brushwork.
Excellent point retention: Precision fibres spring back quickly, helping the brush stay sharp even with repeated use.
Responsive and springy: The bristles have enough “nervousness” to give strong control over delicate lines and detailed strokes.
Good water and pigment capacity: These fibres hold and release medium smoothly.
Raphaël Precision Watercolour Brushes deliver excellent control, sharp points and consistent performance in a synthetic brush that’s ideal for detailed watercolour work, illustration and precision painting. They’re a great choice for artists who want sable‑like performance without natural hair, or for anyone who paints a lot of fine lines, contours and controlled strokes.
Care Tips for Longevity
