In this video I’m testing a brush that genuinely surprised me: the Golden Maple Rigger Set. If you’ve ever struggled to keep your lines clean—whether it’s power lines in a landscape, rigging on boats, branches, grass, or those little calligraphic accents in line & wash—this style of rigger can make the process feel a lot more controlled. The big idea is simple: a long, needle-point shape that holds enough water and paint to keep a line going without constantly reloading. I talk through why I think it’s a bit of a game changer for beginner-friendly watercolour, especially if you want calmer, more predictable results. A good rigger helps you slow down, place marks with intention, and keep your strokes consistent—without overworking an area. If you’re building your kit for urban sketching or landscapes, this is one of those small tools that can noticeably lift the finish of your paintings.
