What Is Scumbling In Art? Motleymuseart.com Scumbling refers to a painting technique which involves applying a thin layer of paint with a dry brush and a loose hand over an existing layer. The idea is to allow parts of the already existing paint below to remain exposed. In most cases, scumbling is used over dried paint, but you can also use it over wet paint.

It is most commonly thought of as an oil painting technique, but it can also be used with acrylic or watercolor paints.
