Raphaël - Filbert Kaërell "S" Synthetic Brush - Series 8792 - Size 18

The Raphaël Kaërell "S" Filbert Brush (Series 8792, Size 18) is a high-performance synthetic brush engineered specifically for acrylic painting and other wet media. Following years of research, Raphaël developed this brush to replicate the feel, suppleness, and responsiveness of natural sable hair while offering the durability and consistency of modern synthetic fibres.

Equipped with advanced polyamide filaments, the brush delivers excellent elasticity, controlled paint loading, and a reliable release that allows for smooth strokes and clean edges, even with heavier acrylic paints. The fibres maintain their shape under pressure, resist splaying, and spring back precisely, making them equally suited for broad applications, layering, and detailed passages.

Featuring a rounded profile, the filbert brush offers the unique versatility of both a flat and round brush. It is exceptional for modelling forms, blending, glazing, creating soft edges, making touch-ups, and painting organic shapes with controlled, flowing strokes. Built for regular studio use, it features a nickel-plated brass ferrule and a long orange varnished handle with a brown tip for comfortable handling, providing dependable performance without the fragility associated with natural hair.
