There's been a lot of suggestions so far, but I wanted to add my 2 cents anyway. <br /> <br />1) Paint your morter lines FIRST. This uses a little more paint, but you don't have to thin it outargiously (saving on thinner) <br />2) use a sponge (i get the Dollar store ones for makeup since they're cheap) and sponge on your brick. Do it lightly and with slightly different shades of red. (bricks aren't always the same color, even within 1 brick itself) <br /> <br />This is the same way that I paint stone work. On brick I tend to use a couple of reds that are pretty close together (but wider range from building to building) and on stone, I use a larger range of shading as well we adding twinges of red or green (not outlandish, just subtle hints).
