- What is a Rigger Brush? A rigger brush is made from long slender sable hairs (cheaper brushes will use synthetic hairs – my new brush is certainly synthetic) and is intended to make long straight lines. My understanding is that historically the brushes were used to paint rigging on ships, hence the name “rigger”.
- Good buy - Renaissance Rigger Size 3 Thanks to a friend who passed on the hint about these brushes. They really are great quality and value. Graham Riley (Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom) on 8 May 2012.
