    Hi,
    I've used a variety of texture paint and other thicker stuff, but never venetian plaster. My only concern would be whether it can be applied thick enough to set right and not crack - without having to do it in many coats in the deeper recesses of the mortar.

    I think I'd lean more toward using simple mortar...skimming it smooth and just using a brick/concrete paint on it.

    Hang tight a few to see if others might pipe in on this with alternative suggestions, and if not, head over to Sherwin Williams or Pittsburgh Paints (don't rely on advice from the bumblers at Lowes/HomeDepot) and see what product they recommend.

    Good luck
