The practice or act of applying paint, color, or sticky substances messily or carelessly; crude or unskilled painting.
From 'daub' (Old French 'dauber' meaning to coat or smear) plus '-ery' suffix indicating a practice or place. The root likely comes from Latin 'dealbare' meaning to whitewash.
Medieval painters used 'daubery' to insult rivals' sloppy work—it's basically the original art world trash talk, turning a verb into a whole critical movement!
