Raphael hasdeveloped another exceptional synthetic (imitation squirrel)fibre that offers retention capacity equal to noother. The wavy undulating shape of the fibre creates spaces which hold the water molecules in contrast with conventional synthetic fiberswhich are straight and slippery. This is whythe new Softaqua brushes can hold twice asmuch colour thanks to these innovative wavyfibres. They allow extended painting withouthaving to return to the palette.

Softaqua comesin 3 brush shapes : a Quill, a round and a flatbrush. The fine tip of the quill and of the roundbrush is specifically tailored for thin linesand detailed work, while its belly provides anexcellent reservoir for water and colour. Theflat brush is suitable for backgrounds andsolid areas, as well as allowing contouring foredges. These brushes snap perfectly back intotheir shape after each use; their soft hairshave excellent resistance.

Softaqua brushes are excellent for watercolours,inks, gouache, tempera, thin acrylic and silkpainting.
