Scribbling eggs. Different types of egg painting: natural ways to paint eggs. We paint wooden eggs in stages with our own hands

I remember that as a child I loved to watch how my grandmother was preparing for a bright spring holiday Easter. Kneading fragrant dough, took out tins for baking cakes different sizes and, of course, painted eggs. Painted uncomplicated, in a decoction of onion peels, but how beautiful they were! Solid brick red, shiny, they glowed straight! Until now, I prefer to paint eggs this way.

In recent years, getting ready for Easter has been a breeze. Easter cakes from different manufacturers are sold in all stores (but have you tried them? You can rarely buy something decent, most often this pastry looks like a fresh roll), and eggs are offered to be wrapped in thermal stickers or painted with artificial colors. I don't even want to discuss dyes - no one will prove to me that it is completely safe. Eggs of blue, pink and other similar unnatural colors are automatically raised by me to the rank of inedible (of course, if they were not originally of that color, as described below). And the thermal stickers ... admit it, do such eggs really look festive for someone? Moreover, it takes not so much time and effort to obtain a beautiful and safe color. So consider basic painting technologies easter eggs.

The more husk and cooking time, the richer the color of the eggs.

Krashenki. The egg is colored during the cooking process using dyes. Of natural colors, I can offer you the following colors:

red - leaves of plants and flowers of red color, (no need to remind you that we only take edible berries and plants known for their safety?). This also includes onion skins from "sweet" onions, beets;

If you tie leaves or twigs of greenery to an egg before painting, you will get beautiful natural patterns

yellow - onion peel, St. John's wort, chamomile; sometimes boiled with turmeric, getting the color of gold;

- birch leaves, spinach, buckthorn bark;

blue or purple - berries of dark grapes, blueberries, elderberries, red cabbage.

The boiling time of the eggs differs depending on the color chosen. For example, you need to cook quite a bit with spinach, and up to 1 hour with onion skins. For intense coloring, you need to take more husk, cook it for about half an hour, then put eggs in the broth and cook for another half hour or hour. To make the eggs shine, they are wiped dry and wiped with a towel slightly dipped in vegetable oil.

Krapanki can be cooked with children

Speckles... We need dyes of different colors and wax. First, the egg is painted in one of the colors, after which it is dripped with wax on the shell, waited until it hardens and dipped in another dye for a few minutes. This can be done many times, with different dyes, after which the wax is heated over a candle flame and wiped off with a napkin. As a result, we have a characteristic speckled pattern, and an egg shiny from a thin waxy coating. If desired, instead of droplets of wax, you can draw patterns for them. Remember that the main color of the egg will be the one in which you last dipped it.

Malevanks imply the presence of artistic skills and abilities

Malevanki... We need paints, brushes, stencils (they can be flower petals, small leaves from trees, etc.), different textures, lace, beads. The eggs are painted with various patterns, including landscapes with holiday houses and flowering meadows. Or they combine painting with paints with appliqués from fabrics and beads.

It is not necessary to master the technique of cutting out on the shell - even a child can scratch a pattern on a painted surface!

Dryapanki... The simple version requires dyes and an instrument with a sharp, usually metal tip. The egg is scratched on the applied paint, getting different patterns. This also includes cut-out painting - cutting an openwork pattern on a whole egg shell. Earlier monks-carvers were engaged in this: using a special knife or a sharp needle, they created stunning ornaments or biblical subjects.

Ornaments, patterns and even the colors of Easter eggs speak with knowledgeable people language of symbols

Easter eggs... One of the most difficult types of painting Easter eggs (in fact, the most difficult, if you do not take into account the cut-out painting). Their patterns and ornaments carry a deep symbolic meaning. For painting, paints of the main four colors (white, yellow, red and black) and wax are used. First, the egg is painted in the main color, the desired pattern is applied with wax, dipped in another paint, the next pattern is applied, and so on several times until all the ornamental patterns of the desired color are applied. Then the wax is removed in the manner described above.

Here are the main types of painting. Have you already decided how to color your Easter eggs this year? Well, if you really don't want to paint eggs, I suggest this option - look for foreign chickens! What for? I'll tell you now. Unlike our hens, they delight their owners with eggs of all colors of the rainbow. For example, some chickens in South America They lay pink, yellowish-beige, orange, gray-blue and lilac eggs. But most often there you can find eggs of the color of delicate turquoise or muted green. Well, will we have time to fly for colored eggs before Easter?

The painted egg, being the main attribute of Easter, from time immemorial was considered not only a symbol of faith, but also a souvenir, which is usually presented as a gift to loved ones. On the eve of Easter, each believing family paints and decorates chicken eggs, and the craftsmen applied arts make them from any materials at hand, creating small works of art. In England of the 17th-18th centuries, souvenir Easter eggs were usually coated with a golden coating, and in Germany at the same time they were made of porcelain. In Russia, the most available material wood has always been considered, so it's no surprise that wooden Easter eggs have become a part of our culture and history.

"Dream House" invites you to get acquainted with interesting ideas to help you paint and decorate wooden eggs do it yourself, and also tell a little interesting things from history.

Easter wooden eggs

Decorative eggs made of wood for Easter: as it was before

Several centuries ago, wooden eggs decorated with intricate painting were considered masterpieces of lacquer miniatures. The craftsmen first gave the wood the desired shape, then carefully polished it, applied a sketch, painted with bright pigments, varnished and dried the product in the oven. Most often, Christian symbols and the faces of saints were applied to wooden eggs. However, these souvenirs were also often decorated with traditional patterns - Khokhloma painting, natural motives, everyday subjects, etc. Today, old Easter eggs made of wood can be seen in museums or bought their counterparts in souvenir shops. But also such an attractive and significant symbol of Christ's Resurrection can be made with your own hands.

Painting wooden eggs - from simple to complex

Making and painting a wooden egg is a very complex and lengthy process that requires certain skills and technical equipment. However, to make an Easter souvenir with your own hands, you do not have to look for wood, cut and grind it, because today you can buy blanks of wooden eggs in almost every craft store. The surface of these products is already prepared for painting, so you only need to choose the right paints and brushes that will bring any artistic ideas and fantasies to life.

Wooden egg

So, how do you paint a wooden egg for Easter? To begin with, experts recommend deciding on a pattern and applying its contour to the surface of the product with a simple pencil. If you do not have outstanding artistic ability, choose the simplest ornaments that do not have small intricate details. For example, it can be the emblem of Christ's Resurrection, images of vegetation or abstract symbols. After drawing a sketch, cover the product with a light paint of a translucent texture or tinted varnish. The marked contours will protrude through the surface of the material, so you can accurately color the drawing. The image itself is best applied using bright acrylic paints that dry quickly and hardly flow. If your painting contains small details, use not a brush to apply them, but an ordinary toothpick or a sharpened match. The finished drawing should dry well, after which it can be covered with furniture varnish, which will lay on the surface of the product with a glossy transparent coating.

How to decorate a wooden Easter egg

There is another fun way that will allow you to turn a wooden egg into your own personal piece of art. To do this, add an ordinary candle, the wax of which you need, to the standard decoration materials. Paint the surface of the wood with light-colored paint, applying it in an even, thin layer. When the paint is completely dry, outline the outline of your future drawing. If you are not sure that you can accurately reproduce the outline, prepare a paper template in advance and simply trace around it. Next, light a candle and tilt it over the drawing. You need to make the dripping wax cover the borders of the pattern. But do not be discouraged if the wax goes out of the contours, because it can be easily cleaned off with a toothpick. After that, take a paint of a different tone and paint over the egg completely. Once the paint is dry, you can easily clean the wax, resulting in a beautiful 3D print.

2. Decorative threads

Easter eggs wrapped in threads look very original and unusual. To create such a souvenir, stick a thin needle into the central upper part of the product and wind a thread around it. Next, the surface of the egg must be smeared with glue, on which the thread will fit. To make the souvenir look really beautiful and neat, the thread should be laid in turns, leaving no empty spaces. Having reached the middle, transfer the needle from one edge to the other, continuing to decorate the product with thread. If desired, the surface of the finished Easter egg can be decorated with beads, beads or ribbons.

To make the design of a souvenir look truly expressive and bright, use varnishes of different textures - varnishes with sparkles, mother of pearl, shimmer, with craquelure effect, etc. This design can be complemented with rhinestones, miniature beads, shimmery sequins, etc.

The greatest holiday of the entire Christian world is approaching - Bright Resurrection of Christ, popularly also called Easter or Great Day. And, probably, there is no more famous and popular symbol of this holiday than Easter eggs.

On Easter we joyfully say: "Christ is Risen!" and exchange red testicles. This custom is very old; Christ gave us life, and the egg is the sign of life.

Where does this universal symbol come from? The egg, as a sacred emblem, is found in the Cosmogony of every nation on Earth and was revered both because of its shape and because of the mystery it contains. Since the earliest mental concepts of man, it has been known as the most aptly depicting the beginning and the mystery of Being. The gradual development of an invisible embryo inside the shell, the transformation of this embryo into a living being that broke its shell, must have always seemed like a constant miracle.

Making Easter eggs in Russia.

Village craftsmen prepared wooden Easter eggs for Easter. Chocolate and sugar eggs were sold in pastry shops. And well-known jewelry firms created works of art from porcelain and crystal, gold and silver, from colored and transparent glass, from bone and stone ... They could be of various sizes - from large ones, in which you can hide various surprises (for example, Easter eggs Faberge firm), to small testicles - they were pinned to clothes or worn on a chain. These miniature jewelry were given to girls for several years in a row: next Easter, a new one was added to the old gift, and so gradually a whole necklace of colorful holiday eggs hung on a chain was obtained.

In the form of an egg, a wide variety of household items- travel bags, watches, vases, gift cups, etc.

Bakers, icon painters, herbalists (that is, floral ornament artists) of the Armory Chamber and monks of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra were engaged in the manufacture of Easter eggs in Russia. Over time, they began to celebrate with handmade eggs more and more often, and gradually Easter eggs turned into a kind of memorable gift, often very expensive and exquisite.

In the 18th-19th centuries, the production of Easter eggs becomes independent species art, and since the end of the last century - and an independent branch of the art industry. They were made in glass and porcelain factories, in grinding factories, in workshops, etc.

In the pantry of the Winter Palace, there was a constant supply of Easter eggs - for the imperial children, for gifts, as well as for international industrial exhibitions. The number of gift eggs supplied annually to the royal court was constantly increasing.

Sketches for decorating Easter eggs intended for the tsar, his family members and other noble persons were often ordered by famous icon painters and artists (for example, they were made at the imperial porcelain factory, where the production of Easter eggs had been established since 1749).

The Fabergé Easter eggs have won worldwide fame.

After 1917, the production of Easter eggs was discontinued. Only in the late 80s of the XX century, forgotten customs and rituals returned to our lives, including the old Russian tradition of offering an Easter egg. Exhibitions of Easter eggs in Russia and abroad are of great interest.

In the modern period, the state pays considerable attention to the preservation and revival of folk traditions.

The modern generation understands the importance of this problem and believes that in our age of technology, a person breaks away from his roots and forgets about national traditions. But it is known that a nation that does not have its own cultural heritage is doomed to extinction.

Thanks to the above, there is no doubt about the relevance of our work aimed at making a certain contribution to the preservation, revival and development of folk traditions and origins.

Traditional folk art - painting Easter eggs.

In Orthodox use, eggs for Easter are not only painted, but also fancifully painted. Such eggs, with the lines of their patterns, seem to remind of the scourging of Christ. Therefore, it is necessary to paint and paint eggs on a special day on Holy Week (week) - on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday.

1. Krashenka- the most famous egg, which is boiled and painted in different colors using dyes. (Appendix 1) Almost everyone now uses artificial colors to color their eggs. However, it is best to use natural dyes that are not harmful to health, unlike bright synthetic dyes.

2. Krapanka- from the Ukrainian "speck" - to cover with drops. (Appendix 1)

To make speckling, you first need to paint the egg in the desired color, then light a candle and drip wax on the egg. After it hardens, the egg can be dipped in a different color.
There can be many colors, but the main color will be the one in which you dip the testicle for the last time.

3. Malevanka- this is a more complex type of painting on eggs, when eggs are painted with various invented patterns using paints. (Appendix 1) When painting an egg in the form of a malevanka, not only paints can be used, but also brushes, fabrics, petals, beads, lace, etc.

4. Dryapanka- This is an egg that is scratched on a solid paint. (Annex 1). A sharp metal is used to scratch the egg. In addition, this type of painting includes cut-through painting - an openwork product is cut out of a whole egg shell.
5. Pysanka- the most difficult type of painting Easter eggs. (Appendix 1) First, the egg is painted with a special ornamental or plot pattern. The patterns and ornaments of Easter eggs were strictly passed down from generation to generation, so they are amulets. Once upon a time, testicles were painted with a thin bone from a chicken breast, dipping it in melted honey wax. Then a special device for painting appeared - a scribbler or a brush (Appendix 2), as it is called in Ukraine (You can also dip a needle into melted wax and draw with it, but it's not so convenient ...)
Wax is put into it, and melted on a candle to a completely liquid state.
Then it flows easily through the hole in the nozzle and you can paint the egg with it.
On a cold egg, patterns are made with hot wax. The entire wax pattern will remain white.
Then the egg is put into the paint. First into a lighter one, then into a darker one.

After that, a new pattern is painted with wax and dipped in another paint, and so on. When all the patterns are drawn, the egg is peeled from the wax.

The main colors of the Easter eggs ornament are white, yellow, red and black. The rest of the colors are considered not symbols, but a simple decoration of the egg. Divorce lines are usually white, and in cases where the background of the Easter egg is white, the divorce is yellow.
The meanings of the symbols that are used when painting Easter eggs:
The dove is a symbol of the soul.
The mesh is a symbol of fate.
Flowers are a symbol of girlhood.
Plums are a symbol of love.
White is the beginning of all beginnings: the fate that is built in the sky.
Black is the color of sorrow. A bright drawing must be applied to a black base.
The yellow mesh is a symbol of the sun and the fate that is being built here.
Oak is a symbol of strength.
Hops are a symbol of fertility.
Any berry is a symbol of fertility; mother.
Pine is a symbol of health.
Dots are a symbol of fertility.

An Easter Egg Museum has been created in Ukraine in Kolomyia The exhibition of the Easter Egg Museum today houses over six thousand Easter eggs, and they were brought not only from all over Ukraine

Currently, housewives are actively using chemical dyes when dyeing eggs. The question arises, is it possible to color eggs without "chemistry"? It turns out you can. Natural dyes contain vegetables and fruits that we consume almost daily, so the color Light red will give beets or blueberries;
Orange: bow;
Light yellow: oranges or lemons, carrots;
Yellow: turmeric roots, walnut shells;
Light green: spinach leaves, nettle;
Green: green apples;
Blue: red cabbage leaves;
Beige or brown: coffee.

Now about the methods of dyeing eggs themselves.

1. Onion peel is the most famous and accessible method for everyone. Eggs can be dyed yellow to reddish brown. The color depends on the concentration of the broth.

2. To make the eggs yellow or golden, they are painted with birch leaves. The broth is prepared from leaves, can be dry, young birch and infused for about half an hour.

3. Grate already boiled eggs with juice (beetroot, carrot, spinach juice).

4. Place eggs in a saucepan, cover them with water. Add a teaspoon of vinegar. Boil eggs with natural coloring agents. They are discussed above.

5. Wet eggs are rolled in dry rice, wrapped in cheesecloth (the ends of the cheesecloth must be tightly tied with a thread so that the rice sticks to the egg) and boiled in onion skins in the usual way. Speckled eggs are obtained.

6. To obtain a marbled effect, wrap the eggs in onion skins and tie the top with some cotton material.

7. When dyeing, you can wrap the eggs with multi-colored threads, then they will get interesting stains.

8. Boil eggs in water with baking soda. Wrap eggs in colorful silk shreds, tie with a thread. Boil them again in this water, let cool, open the shreds.

9. Pluck young leaves different shapes(for example, parsley leaves). Attach these leaves to the eggs, wrap them in a stocking and tie them tightly. Dip in tightly brewed onion skins. Cook for a long time.

10. Eggs painted with any food-grade paint should be blotted with a napkin while they are still hot, put in a glass or egg holder and paint them with a thin watercolor brush until they have cooled down. In this method, everything depends only on the richness of your imagination.

After dyeing the Easter eggs, wipe them with vegetable oil to make them shine.

The tradition of painting Easter eggs has not lost its significance. It has acquired a more aesthetic character than before. The tradition of painting Easter eggs is undergoing profound stylistic changes stemming from developing traditions. The painting on Easter eggs, plots, composition, color have changed. The reason lies in the emerging new worldview, a creative attitude to tradition, in the artist's professionalism, in a critical attitude, which the peasant master did not possess before. In addition, new trends, new forms and means of expression are being created in art.

Conclusion

In progress creative work a study of literature data, media materials, Internet sites related to the chosen topic was carried out, on the basis of which a review of versions of the emergence of the tradition of painting eggs, giving them to relatives, friends and acquaintances was made.

A description of the main types is given. folk painting Easter eggs, revealed their distinctive features, established the meanings of symbols and colors when painting.

A review of the making of Easter eggs was also made, from which it follows that this tradition has not lost its significance, but has acquired a more aesthetic character. Based on the results of the analysis carried out in the main part of the work, it can be concluded that the painting of the Easter egg has become so widespread among various layers of the Russian population that it can be said about it as a kind of folk art.

In conclusion, we can say that the goals and objectives set in this work have been completed. The main types of decorating Easter eggs with traditional folk painting are revealed.

Easter egg in the virtual world

« Easter Egg"(Eng. Easter Egg, slang easter egg) is a kind of secret left in the game, movie or software by the creators.

An "Easter egg" is something like a small (or maybe large, because everything in our world is relative) module inserted into the program and called by means of certain actions on the part of the user. These modules are written by the programmers themselves (or groups of programmers) with a good sense of humor. Easter Eggs can be various jokes, not significant moments, a photo with a group who wrote the program, etc. In most cases, if you have an "Easter Egg" for a version of the program that is different from the one you have installed, then the exact same egg is most likely will not appear, or maybe nothing at all will appear! This often happens when this egg gains worldwide fame. The monsters of the computer industry have the most Easter Eggs: Microsoft, Adobe, Norton, etc. You can find a lot of Easter Eggs on the English-language website www.

VERY BEAUTIFUL EASTER EGGS CAN BE OBTAINED BY PAINTING WITH HOT WAX. THE DEFINITION OF HOT WAX IS THE CONVENTIONAL WAX GRINS THAT CAN BE PURCHASED FROM THE STATIONERY STORE. FOR PAINTING EASTER EGGS, WAX GRINS (CAN BE REPLACED WITH BEESWAX OR PARAFFIN CANDLES, DYED WITH FOOD COLORS) MELT, FIT IN A LITTLE TUMPHOUS DETAILS 65 ° C WAX PAINTING IS USED BASICALLY FOR PRE-PAINTED EGGS, WHICH LOOKS MORE AND EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE.

Before you start painting an Easter egg, you need to paint it in any traditional way you know, of which there are a lot. Eggs are dyed in onion skins, food colors, beets and so on. In order for the egg to color well and evenly, it must first be washed well and degreased. For degreasing, vinegar is usually used, eggs are wiped with a piece of gauze or a cloth dipped in vinegar - using the method of staining with food dyes. When stained with a decoction of onion peels, you can add vinegar while boiling eggs - 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar and a pinch of salt per liter of water.

To paint Easter eggs with wax, copper wire is used (in the absence of copper wire, you can use a long needle, a crochet hook, an awl). You can take a round wooden stick and insert a copper wire into it, leaving a copper tip about 2 cm long. The thinner the tip, the thinner the lines can be drawn on the egg. It is copper that is used for painting with hot wax, since by its properties it retains temperature for a long time, wax on copper wire does not quickly freeze and you can draw rather long lines.

Work process

Wax or wax crayons (you can also use ordinary colorless paraffin candles) are melted in a small metal container (you can take a tablespoon) over the flame (over a burning candle, burner or in a water bath on the stove), heat to a temperature of 65 ° C (do not bring until the wax boils), we maintain the temperature of a certain color of the wax throughout the painting.

We grab a small amount of wax with a copper tip and paint the egg, putting dots or drawing lines. The combination of lines and dots makes it possible to create a variety of patterns.

An egg, chicken or goose, during painting should be at least room temperature, not cold !, since our wax is hot and can freeze immediately after it hits the egg. As for the wax - it should not be too hot or cold when painting. For a satisfactory result, use one test egg to see which wax temperature is best for a particular pattern. If you want to paint an egg with different colors of wax, then do not paint it all at once with all the colors of the rainbow. First paint the whole egg in one color, then wipe the egg with a dry cloth, which will remove any excess wax, if any. Then you can already move on to using a different color of wax.

Upon completion of painting with hot wax, for the best effect, Easter eggs are greased with fat or sunflower oil, which gives them a shine.

To paint an Easter egg, you can use the templates below, or you can come up with something of your own. Experiment and you will succeed! See more Easter Eggs Patterns.
