Synthetic travel brush series with protective cap. Compact, portable, and versatile for painting on the go.
The Raphael Le Voyageur is a travel brush series designed for painters who work on location. Each brush features a protective cap that doubles as a handle extension, keeping the brush tip safe in transit while providing a full-length handle when painting.
The synthetic fibres are chosen for durability and resilience in travel conditions — they tolerate the casual handling, temperature changes, and imperfect cleaning that field painting often involves. Available in several shapes and sizes, the Le Voyageur range covers the essential brushes a plein air watercolourist or travel sketcher needs in a compact, luggage-friendly format.

How to care for your brush
Rinse after field sessions and clean properly when back at base. The cap protects the tip during travel but allow the brush to dry fully before capping for storage. Synthetic fibres are forgiving of field conditions but benefit from periodic brush soap cleaning.
