Eran, I believe for a brick or stone building your next step would be to cover the exterior surface with wall spackle or something similar. When this would dry you would scribe your brick pattern or detail in to the surface, then paint and weather it. Hope this helps, Cheers Kevin

Kevin is right, you want to put a layer of spackle or plaster(tricky to work with IMOO). I used this method after reading the article and works. You will have to scribe the brick/stone pattern in. You may want to make a template for the scribbing. Or you can you a ruler and make the horizontal morter lines between the bricks. Remember to stagger the veritcal line. If you use spackle, if it is to heavy a layer it will crack.
