Remaking of the Ridley Keystone & Mountain

[tompm]

These walls and mortar lines are driving me crazy.

This wall is after I painted the wall a shade of orange.



I went with my tried and true method. Paint over the bricks and wipe off the extra. Not happy with look.



I painted a second wall. This time I used Pan Pastels. This is the wall after the application.



This after sealing with Dullcoat, applying a second coat of pastels and Dullcoat.



I am still not liking the results. I also tried a wash and a thinned paint. Both were so bad I didn't even finish the walls.

I am thinking of trying painting the wall the mortar color and drybrushing the brick color.
