Making a Faux Brick Wall With Sheetrock Plaster
Paint the background with a grout colored paint. Then use a rectangular sponge, cut the edges slightly to resemble the shape of a brick and stamp with a color that matches the brick color you are going for. Then you will probably want to add shades of reds and greys on the bricks applied by tapping a brush onto the brick color to add dimension to your brick.
