I guess it is something that takes years of practice before mastering and we only get to do it just a few times! Lets hope your further washes remedies your critical eye, I think without the flash they probably look great!

I don't. I've found the secret is almost no paint on the brush. I wipe most off on a tissue / kitchen roll so it soaks it off the brush.
I do the morter first with a wash or 2 then do the dry brushing with how ever many coats it takes to be satisfied.
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Now what part of "simple" do I not understand?!
Are you going to incorporate the sloping pavement?
