What it does well

Golden Maple centers on miniature painting with detail brushes, dry brushes, ergonomic handles, wet palettes and magnetic holding sticks. Kolinsky sable options deliver fine points for small areas, while nylon and goat hair cover base work and textured effects. Arrow shaped tips, beech wood handles and stabilized wood handles give added control for close work. Replaceable heads let painters change the tip while keeping the handle, and bundled sets combine brushes with handles, palettes and clips for complete projects.
