The Daler-Rowney Aquafine Rigger (Size 4) is designed for professional artists and students who require extreme precision when working with water-based media. Its core benefit is its ability to hold a fine, sharp point for long, fluid lines, though it is specifically optimized for watercolour and gouache and may not perform as well with heavy-bodied acrylics or oils.

While it is optimized for watercolour and gouache, it can be used with fluid acrylics, though you must clean it immediately before the paint dries.
Size 4 refers to the diameter of the ferrule and the length of the brush head, indicating a medium-fine detail brush.
No, it is made from high-quality synthetic filaments designed to mimic the qualities of natural sable.
Ensure it is completely dry before storing it in a breathable case to prevent mold or bristle distortion.
Short handles provide better control and balance for detailed work held closer to the paper or canvas.
Ensure the brush is stored horizontally or hanging down; if it becomes frayed, dip briefly in very hot (not boiling) water and reshape.
Use a gentle brush cleaner or mild soap and work the lather from the base of the ferrule toward the tip, rinsing thoroughly.
Before your first use, gently rinse the brush in cool water to remove any manufacturing starch. When using, do not leave the brush soaking in a jar of water, as this can permanently damage the shape of the bristles and weaken the handle finish. After each painting session, clean the brush thoroughly with mild soap and lukewarm water, reshape the bristles with your fingers, and store it flat or hanging vertically with the bristles pointing downward to prevent moisture from settling into the ferrule.
