In this video I test the Golden Maple Rigger Brush Set and focus on the big idea behind the design: a modified rigger with a built-in reservoir. The promise is simple—hold more paint and water so you’re not constantly reloading, especially when you’re doing fine line work, long grasses, rigging lines, branches, or those little calligraphic details that can get broken up when your brush runs dry. I also take a close look at how the brushes are put together: solid wood handles, nickel-coated brass ferrules, and a dual-hair setup (a sable inner hair with an animal-hair reservoir). My goal is to see whether that reservoir actually helps in real painting situations—precision, endurance of the point, and whether the brush feels controlled rather than “mushy.” If you’re into watercolour, line & wash, urban sketching, or even dabble in gouache and acrylic, I share what I’d use these for, what I’d watch out for, and whether this is a genuine upgrade or just a gimmick.
