## Overview

The Raphael SoftAqua Synthetic Squirrel Watercolor Brush features innovative wavy synthetic fibers that hold twice as much paint and water compared to traditional brushes. Lightweight and soft, it offers excellent tip memory and durability, making it ideal for artists seeking professional-quality strokes without compromising on eco-conscious materials.

## Description

This synthetic fiber brush offers a high capacity for paint retention. The wavy undulating shape of each fiber creates spaces on the bristle that hold an increased amount of water molecules in contrast to more straight and slippery conventional synthetic fibers. The wavy fiber technology allows for these synthetic fibers to hold twice as much color.

Review: Me ha sorprendido mucho este pincel, es suave y retiene mucha agua y no pierde la punta, tiene buena memoria, lo recomiendo.
Review: ... über diesen meinen neuen Pinsel. Er speichert Wasser/Farbe ohne Ende. Sehr weiche Flächen und Konturen sind damit ein Kinderspiel. Verarbeitung scheint bisher auch sehr gut, bei meinem anderen Verwaschpinsel sind gleich zu Beginn und dann immer mal wieder Haare abgefallen, hier noch nichts dergleichen. Für solche dicken Verwaschpinsel aus Naturhaar zahlt man schon mal 200 € und mehr, im Synthetikpinselbereich hat sich die letzten Jahre aber sehr viel getan und er steht einem Echthaarpinsel kaum nach. Die Spitze bleibt gut in Form und alles was er soll macht er mit bravour. Bin sehr begeistert!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the brush snap back well?**
A: It depends on size but I’d mainly say it’s more like a natural hair brush. It returns to a great point with water, but no real snap back especially with larger sizes.

**Q: Are the bristles 1.5 inches long ?**
A: About 1.3 inches.

**Q: Does it have natural hair?**
A: Soft Aqua brushes have a newly designed synthetic hair, which due to micro wavelike structure has a greater water holding than the best squirrel hair. They are a superb brush  ,hold shape and can stand upto  vigourous  use 
without hair breaking or coming loose. Excellent value  alternative to  topline squirrel.

**Q: What size round brush is this closely equivalent to?**
A: That is a hard question to answer as there is nothing specifically to compare and all brushes are not alike. The best guess is to take measurements kindly provided by Amazon Customer in the only other answer here and I quote "Tip to end is 7 inches. Brush is about 3/4 inch long. Ferule slightly longer. Brush width slightly under 1/2 inch". Take the round brush you are comparing to and measure to get an idea of size. A mop brush also varies from company to company. 

What I do know for sure is that this brand is relatively smaller than a customer not accustomed to them might imagine from their images. For instance, my Soft Aqua travel mop 1795 by Raphael is a 3/0, 6.4mm wide, and 19mm long which is fairly small. To eyeball it I'd say it's a size 4 round but again this is a only a guess based on other size 4 rounds I happen to have and they range in size from different companies in a variety of materials from Kolinsky sable to synthetic. If you look at the Raphael SoftAqua travel set they offer a round in size 6 but I'd consider it more a size 2 in any other brand I have. 

This is why I only bought their travel quill from that set. I have more use for it as it's like a size 6 in actual size compared to my other brushes. Beyond that, it's nicely put together, keeps it's shape, has a fine tip, and holds water as good if not better than organic hair brushes so I recommend it on that alone. As to durability I don't know yet but it seems to be holding up nicely, but I also take proper care of my brushes. I hope this information is of help to someone.

Came with 15-20 bent hairs trapped in the plastic tube protector, but it looks ok after I wet it and let dry bristles down. Fantastic size and price, holds a lot of water for a synthetic brush! Love love love, and will buy again! 100% recommend!
