I extended a ceiling about 13 inches and need to continue the same or similar pattern, only about 4 inches of it will be visible because I will be mounting wall cabinets below the new ceiling.

I don't really see a pattern it looks like a heavy application of mud then possibly a wet sponge to make the "pattern".– Ed BealCommented Nov 20, 2016 at 16:33

I guess the question is how do I repliacte this random look? Sponge and joint compound? No sand, water?– TechnupeCommented Nov 20, 2016 at 17:13

With a wide mud knife or blade bring the new area to a similar thickness and let dry. After dry use a wet sponge with a light coating of fresh mud and drag in similar motions to make the ridges. From the photo I think this is how it was done.– Ed BealCommented Nov 21, 2016 at 1:37

I'm surprised at the confusion by others. It's stucco and I've seen this "pattern", if you will, on a number of buildings, particularly apartments including one I lived in back in the 1970s.– RobCommented Jan 23, 2017 at 11:26

I have never seen this method, but to pick apart the various details I see in the picture, is a coat of drywall mud perhaps covering the whole wall first, let dry, then a tinner coat of mud applied with a wide bristle brush, perhaps a whitewash brush, then while it is still wet, "knocked down" with a wide spackle knife or trowel.
