First paint the entire piece the color of mortar you want then let it dry. Then go to a local walmart or some other store that sells ladies cosmetics. Buy a bag of those cosmetic sponges, they are usually about .99 cents a bag. Take a sponge a glue it to a hard backing such as a small piece of wood. Now depending on the color of the brick you want, take some paint and dab it on the sponge, you don't want much on the sponge. Then dab it on the brick. The structure of the sponge keeps the brick color on the surface of the wall while leaving the mortar alone. Just don't dab too hard. I find this works very well!!
