EASY Skip trowel texture using a Venetian Plaster Trowel

I use an Unaggregated Wall and Ceiling Spray Texture (no sand added) for most of my wall textures including this skip trowel technique.
Mix the mud just thick enough to stay on a hawk without running off. The thicker the mud the deeper the texture. Using a 14" Drywall trowel, apply the mud to the wall in a random pattern. Then, using a Venetian Plaster Trowel, smooth/skip out the mud. Venetian Plaster Trowels have bevelled edges and rounded corners for smoothing and feathering plaster.
