Raphael Soft Aqua Watercolor Mop Brush - All Sizes

[@morgenmachen2400]

Bought a soft aqua 16 round and I love it but it's much smaller than I expected. Have had my eye on these and I just found a great price on the size 4. Been looking for a good quill and I think I'll finally take the plunge. Thanks for the video!

[@keepyourshoesathedoor]

I needed information and sizes! I’m so excited!!! I needed a big mop brush but not too big!! Thank you so much. This is the exact information I needed.

[@dr.mariasozopoulou5450]

I use these brushes. They are available in Greece. I'm very satisfied with them! You did very well to make this video because I haven't seen them in KZbin reviews.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thank you. I made it because I couldn't find much information about them, when I searched on KZbin, and thought others might be looking for the same. Glad you like the brushes. Thank you for your comment. 🙏

i keep coming back to this video for the size dimensions :D

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

That's great! I'm glad it's useful. I'm still going to remake it with a voice over and a bit more information. 🤣

[@suel4269]

Thanks! I was looking for a smaller quill but hard to judge the size on a website. Looks like the smallest is what I need.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

You're welcome 🙏 I keep meaning to make an update to this video, with a voiceover and a little more information, but never get around to it 🤣

I use Princeton in different sizes up to 10 and one inch hake brush. A rigger too which is my favorite.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I've never tried Princeton brushes but I've heard good things about them.

[@Mr.S65]

@@JayNathanWatercolor I like them but I don’t know much about other ones anyway

[@emmamariamakes]

Awesome! I almost bought an Escoda Ultimo 10 but already have this Raphael in size 2 so I might go for a larger mop this time :)

[@suel4269]

I got the 3/0 and 0. Love them! Now I want larger sizes.

[@b.lab.__blab_colors]

This is my favorite brush what I used to make my swatch card. Nice review !!

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thank you 🙏

[@suel4269]

Sarah Cray from Lets Make Art has a favorite brush bundle and she likes the Softaqua Quill 6.

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Oh really? It was my favourite wash brush for quite a while until I started using the Escoda Ultimo. I still prefer the soft aqua hair but the Escoda handle is much better for me.

[@silviabou5635]

Thanks!! Very nice review. Just the info I was looking for. 👍🏻

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Great! Thank you. Very happy the info was helpful to you. 🙏

[@shibkhan5870]

Thanks for sharing this video..this ll be more understanding If it ll be audible..

[@zosterinski]

thanks, this helps! i am on a quest to find a synthetic mop brush for watercolor that i don't regard as a downgrade from natural hair. i will give these a try, they sound right

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Hi. Thank you for your comment. I'm glad the video was helpful to you. I think any synthetic mop is going to feel like a bit of a downgrade from natural squirrel but I'm my opinion these Raphael are the closest you are going to get. I definitely don't feel I would ever need to by a natural hair brush again.

[@zosterinski]

would it be possible to tell me the total length of no. 2 and no. 4? i am curious if they would fit my watercolor case

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Yes of course. Number 2 is 19cm long. Number 4 is 20cm long.

[@zosterinski]

@@JayNathanWatercolor cheers for that!

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

You are very welcome

[@Alireza9900]

Nice review, thanks for sharing. From what I've seen in your videos it seems you mostly do smaller-sized paintings, like A5 to A4 sizes, right? What mop brush size, and only one to start out, do you suggest to be the most versatile for mostly ~A5-sized and occasional ~A4-sized paintings? As I already have a decent #8 round brush I want to pair the mop with that for the majority of the work.

[@lefthandstory1280]

Beautiful friend,great sharing☺️☺️...

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@rainbowpaintingbykhadiza742]

Wow dear. I love art also. 💗

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Thank you. That's great ☺️🙏

[@XPERTARTSINDIA]

Awesome

[@srabastibasu2]

great video! thanks so much!

[@aftabalam7412]

How much price of these brushes plz tell me

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I got them from here: hhkartandpaper.com/en/shop/raphael/พู่กันมัดลวด-softaqua-รุ่น-805/ Plus they are on sale at the moment 😃

[@PaintinHiding]

i was looking for a review on these and you came up haha~ did they discontinue the 3/0? i can't find it anywhere D:

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

HHK is out of stock? Maybe call them and ask? The only other place I know has them is Blick but shipping from the USA probably won't be cheap.

[@PaintinHiding]

@@JayNathanWatercolor Line’d them and yeah, out of stock. i wonder why these soft aquas are so hard to find. it’s Raphael! should be more accessible. 🥺

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

@@PaintinHiding it's almost like Raphael don't want artists to use their brushes 🤣

[@PaintinHiding]

@@JayNathanWatercolor probably so 555 im sure it’ll turn up on jackson’s sooner or later 😄

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I don't know. Jackson's don't seem to sell much Raphael.

[@petergamble6318]

Thanks, I want one. Maybe a #2 to compliment my Princeton AquaElite #6. I'm fairly new to watercolour quills and I must say -- they're a game changer. The synthetic brushes are soooooo much better than they used to be, and I'm happy not to enable some nasty fur farm. DeSerres here in Canada carries Raphaël -- "the oldest fine art brush maker in Europe".

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

I'm glad you found the video helpful. Yes, synthetic hair is getting very good now and I don't really see the point in getting natural hair brushes anymore. I've never tried the Princeton brushes so I've no idea how the Raphael's compare but I hope you will be happy with the #2.
