Easy one here... <br /> <br />Water down your mortar colour and run it liberally into the grout lines. Let it completely dry. <br />Then using a dry brush, do several layers of your brick colour. Keep your brush strokes across the grout lines so as to not paint them your brick colour. So if you paint horizontally, brick layer by brick layer you should be ok. Since thye grout colour is most likely lighter, it will make a nice base coat to the red you are applying for the bricks. <br /> <br />Remember that many thin coats are always better than 1 or two thick coats, and will look more realistic. <br /> <br />Hope this helps. <br />Trevor
