  • Why Illustrator? This would be a challenge for anyone. You're better off using Photoshop to create the texture and them placing it in Illustrator as a raster image.

This is something you would use in Illustrator not make. It appears to be a scan of a painted surface or multiple painted surfaces composited.

Photoshop is the app you're looking for. When you're ready to apply it to your Illustrator artwork, just Place the image as a linked graphic.

    Decorative wall painting is actually something I did for money as support staff many many years ago. The snapshot looks like a dark base color, a light spatter coat (think a really wet brush waved in the air or a paint-filled toothbrush where you flick the bristles with your thumbnail), and a 3rd middle tone roughly applied with a brush and then wiped with a rag. All three of these things can be simulated with layers and the brush settings in photoshop.
