daubed
Sloppily spread on
Daubed is the past tense of daub, meaning to smear or coat something with a soft, thick substance—typically mud, plaster, paint, or clay.
The application is usually rough or hasty rather than careful: The walls were daubed with whitewash.
Daubed can also describe crude painting or marking: Graffiti was daubed across the storefront.
