Synthetic Kolinsky Watercolor Brushes

Raphael has combined over 225 years of brush making experience with advanced technology to create a new, innovative synthetic fiber that mimics the attributes of natural Kolinsky hair. These brushes offer all the attributes of natural hair but are vegan-friendly. Ideal for watercolor, they have a fine point, excellent spring and water retention. Handmade in Mauritius.

Based on Raphael’s best-selling 840x natural Kolinsky series, the Innovative Synthetic Kolinsky range features a complete selection of indispensable round brushes, as well as flats, spotters, and two new shapes: dagger, and curved round. The Innovative Synthetic Kolinsky completes Raphael’s current catalog of synthetic sable brushes with a high-end offer. These brushes are for the watercolorist who does not wish to use natural hair brushes any longer, but still wants to enjoy their exceptional attributes at an affordable price. They display all the quantities and sensations of natural Kolinsky hair, while being longer lasting, completely vegan, and affordable.
