Allan:
Okay, is this as easy as it sounds? Are there any tricks to the
technique?
Which side of the latex wedge (or sides) did you use? Inquiring minds
wanna
know!

It is depressingly easy--when I think of all the time I've spent doing
it the hard way...
Prime black.
Take a latex cosmetic sponge wedge. Put some paint on it, dab it a few
times on another surface so it's damp instead of wet, then pat the mini.
 The effect should be similar to dry brushing with a bit more coverage. 
Use whichever sides you like, depending on how wide an area you wish to
cover.
