Half bath ceiling


we are on to the bathroom (4'6" x 4'10") and we are trying to decide a texture to go with. We have never done texture on a ceiling so we are looking for something relatively introductory to moderate. No sprayer, just apply by hand. Is there a process where you thin down lightweight compound, spread it heavy, pull it down with a straight trowel, then partially smooth that with a wide blade?

any ideas or possibilities would be great. thanks
