Etymology

The term 'splotching' derives from the word 'splotch', which dates back to the mid-19th century. The word itself is likely a blend of 'spot' and 'blotch', both of which describe irregular shapes or stains. The art technique gained prominence as artists began to explore less structured forms of expression, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the rise of movements like Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism. Splotching as an artistic technique emphasizes randomness and chance, aligning with the ideals of many modern artists who sought to break away from traditional methods and embrace a more instinctive approach to creating visual effects. Over time, the terminology has entered wider usage not only in fine arts but also in crafts, where similar techniques are applied for effect.
