Faux Toile - NYT

I am a BIG fan of toile. So I was curious to know how the faux toile, mentioned in this article in the NY Times, As Housing Slows, What of Décor-Speak? was created. Since most faux is done by hand with paint or other medium, then how does one execute a faux toile? With a sharpie? That would take mad skills.

Question is, would it look like this?

Or is this more what you had in mind?
