Or, “My Probably Daft Way to do Brickwork”.

I really wanted my brickwork to look like proper red brick with a pale mortar mix.

Start with basecoating the brick sections in a Terracotta colour. I’ve used a mix of Bugman’s Glow and Khorne Red to get an earthy red colour.

Mix Wraithbone with water to the consistency of milk. Apply over the brickwork, using the brush to stop too much settling on the bricks themselves.Mix Wraithbone with water to the consistency of milk. Apply over the brickwork, using the brush to stop too much settling on the bricks themselves.

I’m sure if I was a neater painter that painting the bricks over the pale mortar would be better – but for me, I’m happy with the overall result.
