A technique artists use for creating a broken or mottled effect with water paint or ink, often revealing traces of the paper or underpainting. The technique is accomplished by holding the brush at such an angle that its side lies almost flat against the paper, or by drawing it rapidly across the surface, as one might a pen stroke. In oil painting, a similar broken effect is called a dragging stroke or scuffing.
