dauber
Careless applier of paint
A dauber is someone who daubs—applies paint, plaster, or similar substances in a rough, unskilled manner.
The term often carries a dismissive connotation when applied to painters, suggesting crude or amateurish work rather than artistry.
A dauber can also be the tool used for daubing, such as a sponge-tipped applicator for ink or polish.
Mud dauber is a common name for wasps that build their nests from mud.
