Jackson's : Raven : Synthetic Brush : Mop : Size 6
The Raven is a short handled watercolor mop brush which is made from synthetic squirrel hair. It has an excellent take-up and release of water and holds a lot of paint which will enable you to produce long, flowing strokes. The larger sizes are especially useful for creating big washes of color without having to reload your brush with pigment or water. The hair is soft and holds its shape really well, it retains a really nice point which will be ideal for finer detail.
This is a Size 6 Raven Mop, the largest in the range. The length of the handle is 19cm, the length of the bristles is 3.9cm and the width of the ferrule is 1.6cm.
Please note that this synthetic brush does not contain any animal products, either in the varnish, bristles, paint or glue.

I bought this brush (#6) having only ever used real sable and squirrel brushes in my work, but I was looking for a larger brush to scale up my work without the real hair price tag. I was honestly really disappointed by this brush - despite its huge size, it didn't seem to carry much water at all, and what it did hold, it seemed to release all at once, so I would end up with a big pool at the beginning of a brushstroke that would then run dry before I could finish.Rating
There was also no snap to the brush at all, and after a brushstroke, the bristles stay bent off at an angle from where the brush has met the paper. It doesn't hold anywhere near a point, despite what the photos show, and so it felt really cumbersome to try and paint with. Reading other reviews, I feel like maybe we were reviewing different brushes as so many people mention it holding a good point and loads of water but I just didn't find that at all! The smaller sizes may not be as bad, but this one was not for me - I much prefer the shape and feel of the Jackson's Icon Quills instead. (Posted on 7/13/2022)- Review by Feefo
I thought I would try this as I have several smaller Raven brushes and have been pleased with those. This holds plenty of colour, points well and has more spring than pure squirrel mops. Lovely for big washes. I find pure squirrel hair too soft and floppy for my taste, so this suits me well. (Posted on 8/4/2018)Rating - Review by Diego
Painted 5 completed pieces and some studies with this brush. Amazing paint holding capabilities. Just a little bit stiffer than my previous pure squirrel brushes, but a joy to use nonetheless. Half imperial is the minimum size for this brush, although i think it does better on full sheets. (Posted on 5/23/2018)Rating - Review by Feefo
I'm struggling to use this brush, beautiful brush but much bigger with a huge paint holding capacity than I expected. Maybe I need to start working on full imperial (Posted on 3/20/2018)Rating - Review by Feefo
As good as a hair brush and good value. (Posted on 12/15/2017)Rating - Review by Chris
Lovely brush, amazing for price. Hard to tell it's not squirrel, just a mite stiffer. Wonderful point and hold loads of paint. I love it! (Posted on 8/19/2017)Rating - Review by Margarita
Really good brush, if I didn't know i would've thought it's squirrel. Very thin end helps with small details, while thick core of this brush can hold large amount of water. I've got number 0 and its ideal for A4-A5 formats. Will purchase it again in different sizes. (Posted on 8/14/2017)Rating - Review by Chris
Brilliant brush hard to see what is different about it to squirrels except the price. (Posted on 8/6/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo
Lovely brush to use and feels as though it will last, nice quality and feels well in the hand. (Posted on 3/22/2017)Rating - Review by Mythril
Very good brushes. Virtually impossible to tell apart from the best squirrel mops on the market, soak up a ton of water and come to a fantastic point every time. (Posted on 1/12/2017)Rating - Review by Feefo
This brush is the largest in the Raven series. Excellent for watercolour and at a price any artist can afford. I now have the full set and am really pleased with all the brushes. I have been painting with Derwent inktense which and finding them them the ideal brush. My first attempt was to paint some Mars landscapes from NASA photos which inspired me on Youtube. Inktense is a new medium to me and the brushes served me well. (Posted on 12/22/2016)Rating
