The walls had been textured like the rest of the house with a simple orange peel. I used joint compound to roughly "plaster" sections of the wall, leaving the areas where the bricks were to go alone. I painted the plaster the same color as the original walls. Then I used a ragging technique with a burnt sienna glaze mix to wash over the joint compounded plaster. I pushed some of the glaze into lines and cracks I had made when I put laid down the joint compound. Finally, I did some shadows on the edge of the plaster to give it some depth and drew in some "cracks". Then I did the bricks. Fun project and client LOVES IT. More questions?? Send me a note at rayfinfer@hotmail.com. Hi Lauren:

The wall the breakouts are on in SPI is about ten feet high and had various areas where plaster over old brick has fallen off leaving areas much like what I did in the wine grotto. But thanks for the compliment. Actually, Cindy, I have photographs of a building in South Padre Island Texas that has crumbling plaster walls that look just like the breakouts I did.
