Ron! Thanks again for this detailed explanation of another finish. I am deciding to head to MD to attend a few of your classes during the summer. Looking forward to the hands on advice.
GORGEOUS!! I am going to do a wall that's about 240 sqft. Can you tell me the colors I should use for the bricks to be mainly a shade of white? I really want to use this technique. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Is this technique suitable to cover cinder locks? I would like to do the outside chimney. We did our inside chimney years ago with Brick in a can. Another question or two. How thick are you putting on the faux stone, what is the correct name or brand of the faux stone and where can I purchase? Thank you.
I love this! I want to do it on a huge (inside) wall though, like 30 ft long and 9.5ft tall. Do you have any suggestions to make it quicker when I'm doing it for that big of a wall? I purchased a brick stencil instead of tape,. Would your technique work with wall paint? I want to shadow and highlight majority of the bricks but I'm not sure if I can realistically have the time to do this. Thanks!
I am considering doing this technique on a stage prop that will be moved often on and off trucks and stages. Do you think the texture plaster will hold up to frequent movement?? Or do you think it might crack and flake off??
Not if you have a sturdy support panel, properly prime and I would wrap with moving blankets when transporting, keep the paints you used to create so you can touch up, most touch ups should not be noticeable from the audience
I watched another video which showed using a heat gun on the polystyrene prior to painting to create texture ... worked well! Also, they carved the polystyrene with a tool to create depth/grout lines. Using 4x8 panels they created an insulated wall quickly ... i.e. for garages, basements, etc. Applying this coloring technique and their basic methods with polystyrene would seem to reduce potential for cracking etc. for panels that need to be moved (i.e. set designs) or for quickly creating a brick look in large spaces.

Super
I did this years ago but used a stencil and sand and a touch of glitter in the grout . It turned out amazing. Your method with tape is simpler

Would you consider of doing a stack stone tutorial with material needed for it.

hi, thanks for the compliment. yes the high lights and shadow technique will work the same. It does take time
+Ronald Layman great, thank you. I'll let you know how it goes!
What brand of paint would I go with ?
I googled "faux stone" and came up with nothing. Where can I purchase this?

Can I do this on plywood for practice? Were you painting on canvas? Great video. Thanks
David Lucia just use a smooth faced plywood. I'm working on poly styrene
Thank you.
