Raphael d’Artigny & Textura D-Brush
An innovative 2-in-1 brush that offers a flat, springy side and a rounded flexible side

The convex side of the brush is soft and flexible, with a curve that softens edges, blends colors, and smooths brush strokes. The flat side of the brush is firmer and is able to scrub, sketch, and lay in blocks of color, ideal for initial sketching and impasto techniques. Available in Raphael Textura and Raphael D’Artigny.

Textura D-brushes are made using very strong, short, rigid synthetic fibers. They offer an excellent response to artists using thick paints and mediums and impasto techniques.

d'Artigny D-brushes feature interlocked, extra-white hog bristles chosen for their superior quality and ability to offer the artist maximum brush stroke control. With double crimped ferrules, these brushes are exceptionally strong and durable, and are ideal for oil and acrylic painting.
