Synthetic range covering riggers, spotters, and designers. Versatile, affordable, well-made.
The Rosemary & Co Red Dot is a synthetic brush range covering specialist shapes — riggers, spotters, and designer brushes — all marked with the distinctive red dot on the handle. This range extends Rosemary & Co's affordable synthetic offering beyond standard rounds into the specialist shapes that painters need.
Having riggers, spotters, and designers available in synthetic at Rosemary & Co quality and pricing makes it practical to stock a full range of brush shapes. Miniature painters use spotters for extreme detail, riggers for long lines, and designer shapes for versatile mark-making — all tasks where having an affordable, reliable brush encourages experimentation.
