❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which size should I start with as a beginner?

A: Size 6 is our most popular choice for beginners. It's versatile enough for most detail work while being easier to control than smaller sizes. You can add Size 2 or 4 later for ultra-fine work.

Q: Is this really genuine Kolinsky sable?

A: 100% authentic Kolinsky sable from Raphael's French workshop. As authorized dealers, we guarantee authenticity. Beware of cheaper "sable-style" synthetic imitations.

Q: How long will this brush last?

A: With proper care, 2-5 years of regular use is normal. Professional artists often use the same Raphael brush for decades. The key is proper cleaning and storage.
