Evening all
I'm trying to achieve the excellent results seen in the images below.
I've got decent at colour-matching mortar using Everbuild 'mortar tones' (cement dyes)
I can sculpt this mortar to replicate a brick.
But I can't work out what techniques to match the texture of the surrounding bricks.
I have used 40 grit sandpaper, but it's too smooth.
I have tapped with wire brush, which creates random holes which is good.
But can't work out how to create that gritty look.
Looks kind of sandblasted.
Any tips appreciated!
