In this video I’m sharing a quick look at a new rigger brush design that genuinely surprised me—the Golden Maple rigger set with that needle-point shape. If you’ve ever struggled to keep your lines clean (especially when your brush starts to splay or dump too much water), a rigger like this is designed to help you stay precise. I’m always chasing that balance between a fine point and enough belly to hold paint, and this design is clearly aiming for exactly that. I talk through why I reach for a rigger in the first place—thin branches, power lines, rigging details, grass, and those little linear accents that make landscapes and urban sketches feel finished. A good rigger should track smoothly, keep its point, and let you pull longer strokes without constantly reloading. If you’re building your kit for line & wash or you want a brush that supports confident mark-making, this one is worth a look—especially if you’re after a needle-fine tip for detail work.
