Raphael Textura 870 Flat Brush Size 0 | For Impasto Acrylics & Gels

Engineered for Heavy Mediums

Raphael's Textura 870 brush is built with exceptionally strong, rigid synthetic fibers specifically chosen to withstand and control thick acrylics and structure gels. Unlike brushes designed for lighter mediums, these fibers maintain their shape and responsiveness, allowing artists to build texture and relief with precision. This specialized design ensures that the paint is applied exactly where intended, creating defined strokes and surfaces that would be difficult to achieve with softer or less durable bristles. The brush's construction is a testament to Raphael's commitment to providing tools that enhance artistic expression in textured painting.

Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip

This brush is ideal for artists who frequently work with impasto techniques, heavy body acrylics, texture gels, or structure pastes and desire precise control for relief effects. It's perfect for creating visible brushstrokes, building texture, and applying thick mediums. However, artists primarily working with thin watercolors, delicate washes, or fine detail line work where extreme softness is paramount might find these rigid fibers too stiff. For those seeking ultra-fine blending or very fluid paint application, a softer brush might be a better choice.
