Scumble: ??A painting technique in which semi-opaque or thin opaque colors are loosely brushed over an underpainted area so that patches of the color beneath show through.?

From? The Artist?s Handbook, by Ray Smith.

This began as a?series of posts on my personal blog, The Flying Trilobite, as a way to brush highlights over the tremendous amount of science-based art that?s out there. I can?t begin to cover it all, so here?s a scumble over some recent posts that I found interesting, provocative, or otherwise caught my eye from the? Science Artists Feed, and other sources.

Science-art is becoming an increasingly popular form of science communication and entertainment. Drawing from fine art, laboratory work, scientific illustration, concept art and more, watch how artists spread scientific literacy and play with the inspiring concepts in science. ?Doing the Scumble posts, I hope to connect artists with each other, and expose their work to a wider audience. ?Remember, a lot of these artists are available for commissions and have online shops for original art and reproductions. ?Why not put some art on your wall that means something more than ?weird for the sake of weird??

Put your feet up, make yourself a hot cup of coffee and enjoy the science-art on the links above.
