Knowing the quality and care that you put into your other structures, it looks like you got in a hurry on the mortar joints. I'm not sure if it would look any better but you could try applying the whitewash vertically as vertical is a more natural weathering direction than horizontal. All in all, still a fine looking structure.

The mortar joints do look a little bad in the pics, but they dont look so harsh and bold up close from normal viewing, the camera catches everything and really brings the flaws out lol. I dont think i rushed through the mortar lines, i spent about 2 hours doing it this morning lol.

I do think i need to thin the paint a little bit next time though, and i will also try doing the vertical wiping instead of the horizontal. I was doing it vertical at first, but it was leaving alot of paint behind, so thats when i switched to horizontal wiping. But again, i think if i thin the paint some next time it will be easier to wipe away.

Thanks for the suggestion TN, and no worries, your not being mean, just trying to help Misngth
