Painting Easter eggs.
« An egg is dear for Christ’s day,” says the famous Russian proverb. Easter eggs are specially painted eggs that are given to each other on Easter. However, when watching the news, I heard them being called either “painted eggs”, or “pysanka”, or even “galunka”. And I had a question: “Why is this happening?” And I decided to find the answer to it. (slide 2)
This is what I managed to find out. Easter eggs are an attribute of one of the main religious holidays of Christians - the day of remembrance of the “miraculous Resurrection” of Jesus Christ crucified on the cross. Symbol Easter the egg became a long time ago. Giving to each other Easter eggs, Christians profess faith in their Resurrection. So what are the main types of eggs given for Easter?
Krashenka- a well-known egg that is boiled and painted in different colors. This is done for Easter and Farewell. Krashenki appeared in church festivities in the Middle Ages. They were consecrated, after which they were considered a holy gift. (slide 3).
Krapanka- This is another type of painted egg. It was done like this. The egg was painted in some color. And then they lit a wax candle and dripped wax onto the testicle. It froze and the egg was dipped in a different color. There could be any number of colors. (slide 4)
Malevanka- This is a more complex type. This technique also uses wax and special brushes. Or just brushes that were used to paint the testicle. A woman or children (which also often happened) drew whatever they wanted on the testicle (slide 5)
Rubbish- this is a testicle that is scratched, thus applying an ornament over one-color paint. They usually scratch with some kind of metal tip. (slide 6)
Pysanka- the most complex and ancient type of painting. Patterns and ornaments were strictly passed down from generation to generation. Easter eggs are amulets. Basic colors of Easter eggs ornament
The art of pysanky is accessible to everyone. If you want to master it, stock up necessary materials. Chicken eggs are not a problem, they are always in the house. You will also need: food coloring for dyeing Easter eggs, beeswax, a household paraffin candle (unpainted and odorless), matches, a soft pencil, napkins and a brush - a tool for applying hot wax to an egg shell. Dilute the dyes with hot water, add vinegar - the paint is ready. And you can create! What kind of ornaments and symbols were not applied to the eggs! In my report you can read about their meanings! (slide 8)
In the past, when making all types of painted eggs, vegetable dyes were used - a decoction of oak and apple bark, alder branches, onion peels, water lilies, green rye, and nettle roots. See how you can achieve certain colors! (slide 9)
Nowadays food coloring can be bought at any store. Here are some options for working with Easter eggs. (slides 10-14)
In the course of my work, I studied the literature on the history of egg painting, became familiar with the techniques and types of painting work, conducted an oral survey of third-grade students, and revealed interest in the topic I was studying. After acquiring knowledge about painting eggs, I became so interested in this topic that, together with the teacher, I wrote a sample program for the work of the school club “Painting from the Heart,” which I plan to use in the next school year. The purpose of our program: development of the student's personality, his creativity and individual talents through the decorative and applied art of painting. – development of everyone’s creative individuality, encouragement for independent creativity. For this purpose, children are introduced to the history of the development of the craft, creative works folk craftsmen. Using the example of these works and the work of the teacher, students first imitate, copy, and then create their own ornaments and compositions. Pupils bring something of their own, personal, to each work and reflect their own vision.
I also developed a catalog with my work on painting Easter eggs, which you will find attached to my work. And I found the answer to the main question of my research: “Why are Easter eggs called differently?” Because their painting techniques are different. And the meaning is also different. According to the data collected during an oral survey of children and conversations with teaching staff, as well as research in specialized literature, I can conclude that painting Easter eggs is a very relevant and interesting topic. My opinion agrees with this conclusion. I've learned a lot, and now I'm not going to stop there. It is quite possible that when I grow up, I will become an egg painting master and will teach this wonderful art to other people.
Thank you for your attention!

====================================================
In addition to the traditional Easter cake, the symbols of the Easter table are, of course, eggs painted for the holiday. You can decorate Easter eggs in an original way using simple painting techniques that are accessible not only to adults, but also to children. We are happy to share the secrets of our craft with our readers.
In order to paint Easter eggs, it is not at all necessary to be a master of a brush. In addition to traditional painting with an artistic brush, there are simpler techniques, some of which do not require this tool at all. Let's look at the most popular of them.
Bonded painting
To paint Easter eggs using this technique you will need:
- cotton swabs (pokes);
- acrylic paints;
- brushes;
- sponge;
- cotton pads;
- sunflower oil or furniture varnish.
Progress:
1. Boil an egg hard-boiled, dry and cool it. If you want to make a real Easter souvenir, carefully remove the contents of the raw egg through small holes in the bottom and top and paint the dried shell.
2. Using a foam sponge, cover the entire surface of the egg with white acrylic paint. Dry for a few minutes. If the coating is not thick enough, apply another layer.
3. Start painting the Easter egg. We suggest you decorate the shell with bunches of rowan berries. Dip a poke (cotton swab) into red paint and, applying it with perpendicular movements to the shell, draw 10-15 large berries forming a bunch.
4. The second element of our Easter egg painting will be rowan leaves. First, using a cotton swab, draw lines with green paint - the bases of the leaves. To enliven the painting, apply a more saturated color stroke with a thin brush to each green line.
5. Yellow strokes made on the leaves with a thin brush will further enliven the painting and make it more voluminous.
6. Draw highlights on the berries and leaves by applying a few white strokes using a brush or cotton swab.
7. To create contrast, add a few black dots to the base of the berries.
8. After the painting on the Easter egg has dried, coat it with furniture varnish. A boiled egg can be treated with vegetable oil using a cotton pad to make it shine.
Easter egg painting with wax
Easter eggs painted with wax are called pysanky. This technique is traditionally popular in Ukraine and allows you to create both simple souvenirs and genuine artistic masterpieces.
To paint eggs using wax technique you will need:
- a raw egg;
- pisachok - a device for applying hot wax to the shell. You can make your own pisachok by twisting a small piece of foil into a funnel and securing it to a wooden stick. Wax is placed in foil, heated over a flame to a liquid state and applied to the shell through a hole in the funnel;
- candle;
- vinegar;
- cotton pads.
Progress:
1. From a raw egg at room temperature (not cold!) Remove the contents through small holes at the bottom and top. Wipe the shell with a cotton pad soaked in vinegar.
2. Prepare egg dye - it can be natural or artificial dye.
4. Immerse the scribbler in the melted wax and heat the contents of the funnel over the flame again.
5. Apply the wax design by rotating the egg, but without moving the scribbler.
6. After the wax has hardened, dip the egg into the dye and let the paint dry.
7. While heating the wax painting over a candle flame, gradually remove the wax trace from the surface of the shell with a woolen cloth. The areas where the wax was applied will remain unpainted, and you will have a light design on a colored background.
Working with a pissy
The traditional color of Easter eggs is red
The Easter egg is a model of the world, so eggs are often painted with belts
(sky, earth and underworld) and draw animals and plants on them
The painting includes birds, flowers and patterns with waves.
Variety of colors and styles
This is what the Lusatian wax painting of Easter eggs looks like
Easter egg painting with engraving
Easter eggs painted using this original technique are called “shkryabanks”. To create a painting-engraving you will need:
- chicken, duck or ostrich egg, cleared of contents;
- a sharp and thin tool for engraving, for example, a stationery knife;
- paint for Easter eggs.
Progress:
1. Dye the eggs in your chosen color using natural or artificial dye.
2. Dry the shell for 24 hours so that the dye hardens well.
3. Using a sharp tool, “scrape” out the eggshells selected ornament (you can use a stencil).

By the way, you can decorate not only ordinary chicken eggs, but also wooden models- they definitely won’t crack, and a particularly beautiful design can be preserved for years.
If your family has a tradition of exchanging Easter gifts, make beaded Easter eggs.
“The egg is a wonderful symbol, the oldest pagan symbol of the resurrection from the dead: the egg looks like a dead stone, smooth, motionless, but life beats in it, an amazing miracle is hidden in it. Long before the birth of Christ, the egg symbolized the Universe. In Christianity, the egg acquired a new meaning and became a symbol of the Resurrection, a symbol of Easter, the birth of a new world through the Resurrection of Christ. The red color of the egg signifies the joy of the rebirth of the human race. This is the color of the blood of Christ shed on the cross, which atoned for all the sins of the world.
Krashenki
Krashenki- from the word paint. You can color eggs in different ways.
Some housewives boil eggs hard, and then immerse them for 10-15 minutes in a solution of warm water with food coloring, which can be bought in the store.
Other housewives like to dye eggs in a decoction of onion peels. To do this, place raw eggs in a saucepan with water, add onion peels and cook for 15-20 minutes until the eggs acquire the desired color.
Previously, eggs were painted in a special way: they were wrapped in dry leaves of oak, birch, and nettle, tied with thread and boiled. The result was beautiful “marbled” eggs.
Drapes
For drapanki It is better to take brown eggs. The shell of such eggs is stronger than that of white eggs.
First, the eggs are boiled, then painted some darker color, and then dried. The pattern is applied to the shell with a sharp object - a knife, an awl, scissors, a thick needle, a stationery knife. But before scratching the pattern, it must be applied to the egg with a sharp pencil. During operation, the egg is held in the left hand, and a sharp object in the right.
The openwork pattern on the drape looks good on brown or other dark paint.
The design on the drapanka can be anything, unlike the pysanka with its strictly traditional geometric designs. Using the edge of a stationery knife, scratch the contours of the design. To create shades inside the contours, we draw the pattern not with the tip, but with the entire surface of the knife blade. Erase the pencil sketch with an eraser. The drawing is ready. For shine, you can wipe the egg with a cotton swab and a drop of oil.
Krapanki
Krapanki- from the Ukrainian word “to drip”, that is, to cover with drops.
First, the egg is painted with one color, then, when it dries and cools, drops of hot wax are applied to it.
Once the wax has cooled, the egg is placed in a solution of a different color.
After the paint has dried, the egg is dipped into hot water.
The wax melts and a very funny egg comes out.
The wax can be carefully scraped off.
Easter eggs
Easter eggs are skillfully painted Easter eggs. Ukrainian Easter eggs are real works of folk art.
To draw Easter eggs, elements of flora and fauna and geometric shapes are used. Each region of Ukraine had its own characteristic ornament and color. In the Carpathian region, eggs were painted yellow, red and black, in the Chernihiv region - red, black and white, in the Poltava region - yellow, light green, white.
Pysanka was not drawn or painted, but written on raw chicken egg. Every line on a pysanka is an arc. The arcs form circles and ovals and, crossing, divide the surface of the egg into fields, the name of which is the baptismal shirt of the Easter egg.
Easter eggs were supposed to be painted with the first strike of the bell. First, the egg was dipped in yellow paint - “apple tree”, and kept in it for three “fathers”. Each color of the pattern was protected with wax. By the end of the work, the eggs turned into black, gloomy buns. They were dipped into hot water or brought to the fire. The wax melted and the pysanka was born, just as the sun is born from the blackness of the night.
To make the pysanka shine, it was greased. They put it with a whisk around the Easter cake - for God, on a dish with grain - for people, and dyes on sprouted oats - for parents. And three candles burned in honor of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Currently, the art of painting Easter eggs is being revived. Forgotten equipment is being restored, new masters are appearing. A museum of Easter eggs has been created in the city of Kolomiya, Ivano-Frankivsk region.
Malevanka
Malevanka- an egg painted with your own, invented pattern.
They have no symbolic meaning and can be painted with paint (not wax).
The name “malevanki” comes from the word paint; Easter eggs are painted with invented patterns using paints.
Artists, when painting Easter eggs, often draw plot pictures, flowers, landscapes, and landscapes in addition to patterns.
Eggs
Eggs- eggs carved from wood and stone, made from porcelain and clay were made in Rus' back in the 13th century.
Later, eggs began to be decorated with beads, lace, knitting, etc.

Pysanka, krapanki, krashanki are eggs painted for Easter. different ways. Modern housewives usually simply boil eggs in food coloring and use special films with patterns; when boiling water gets on them, they tightly envelop the egg. In this article we will look at the ancient traditions of painting Easter eggs with our own hands; a master class on painting wooden blanks using paints is attached.
Drawing with wax
To start painting eggs with hot wax, you need to prepare materials and tools, and also come up with a pattern design. Basically, pysanky are raw eggs painted with lines and abstract patterns. Sometimes the contents of the egg are blown out of the holes.
So, for work we will need eggs, wax or paraffin candles, napkins, food coloring, pre-diluted in water, and a writing tool, which is sold in craft stores. It is a metal funnel with a handle.
Wax is placed into this funnel and heated over a candle fire. Actually, this is how we will apply the pattern with wax from this watering can.
The eggs need to be washed, dried and the surface wiped with alcohol; each time we warm up the watering can, because the wax tends to cool quickly.
After drawing the main lines, lower the egg into one of the colors, take it out after a couple of minutes and continue applying additional patterns. And we dip it into the paint again, but in a different color.
In order for the drawing to appear now, you need to hold the egg over the candle flame and wipe it with a napkin.
Another way to color eggs for Easter is with colored wax crayons. You can buy them at stationery store. The crayons are melted in metal containers and multi-colored pictures are applied with an inverted needle or other stick.
Continuous lines are unlikely to be obtained, but it is quite possible to make petals and spikelets with dot painting.
If you are using empty eggs, thin satin ribbons can be threaded through the holes at the bottom and top so they can be hung or rolled into pretty bows. Although in fact Easter eggs can be boiled, painted and then painted.
Easter souvenirs
Coloring eggs is a fun creative activity for children, both in kindergarten, and at home. For beginning artists, you can paint with gouache paints, and first empty the eggs. To do this, make a hole in the upper and lower parts with an awl and blow out the contents; if desired, the holes can be sealed with a small piece of masking tape or covered with dough. Or if you have a medical syringe, use it to remove the contents. You can apply a design to the eggs.
To work with drawings, you can connect markers and felt-tip pens for contouring.
Experienced craftsmen also paint wooden eggs; they use acrylic paints to create original souvenir eggs that can be given to loved ones or sold.
Let us consider the painting technique in detail using the example of one of the works.
Step 1. Prepare materials and tools.
We will need - a wooden egg, sandpaper, acrylic paints (you can also paint with gouache), brushes, preferably synthetic, for working with acrylic. The rest is as needed - napkins, pencils and protective newspapers, decoupage varnish.
Step 2. Preparing the workpiece for work consists of sanding the wooden surface with sandpaper. Typically, before painting, wooden surfaces should be coated with either an acrylic primer or a homemade solution of PVA glue and water in equal parts and cleaned. You can use a construction sanding sponge instead of sandpaper.
Step 3. Apply the first layer of paint with a wide brush over the entire surface and let it dry, make a sketch with a pencil and apply the details of the drawing with thin brushes, as shown in the photo.
Ideas for painting
Eggs in traditional folk painting are made in several layers. To paint berries, flowers and birds in the style of Gorodets painting, first apply the background, then draw the first layers of the spot, which determine the positions of the main details, while making the tone lighter. With the second layer we draw the dark details with thin strokes that create the shape of flowers or leaves. And at the end the highlights are drawn with white and yellow paints. At the end of the work they are varnished.
Zoya Grigorievna, good evening. I myself really love daisies - the egg is just “delight”. I found some interesting information about the blessed egg. I'll share. And thank you very much for the master class.
Blessed Egg
According to tradition, both Catholics and Orthodox Christians (either on Holy Saturday or at the end of the Easter liturgy on Sunday) blessed colored eggs along with other holiday foods in churches. In many countries, the old Christian tradition has been preserved to this day - exchanging colored eggs in church at the ceremony of Christ as a sign of love and fraternal unity of believers.
In almost all Christian countries, a blessed painted egg is one of the most common gifts for Easter: on the day of the holiday, as well as throughout Bright Week, they were presented as gifts during morning greetings, given to relatives and acquaintances, friends, neighbors and even just passers-by , in France, godparents always gave such an egg to their godchildren, in Italy and Austria - girls to their lovers (in response to the olive branches given to them during the feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem (“Palm Sunday”).
In Russia, an egg received from a priest at the end of the liturgy was considered especially valuable and never spoiled. They gave it to the patient to eat in the belief that after this he would definitely get better. The first egg given for Easter was endowed with the same great magical power. In the Yenisei province, there was a custom on Easter Sunday to exchange an egg with the first person you met; it was this egg that was considered the most miraculous here: they believed that it saved from evil spirits, and if it was kept on a shrine, it would not spoil for three years. In the Vyatka province, a special egg was chosen by chance. On Holy Saturday, the housewife, having colored the eggs, placed on the shrine as many eggs as there were people in the family, plus one extra. The egg that remained untouched on the shrine the next day after the household had taken apart the eggs for Christ’s consecration during the Easter meal was called the “Christ’s egg”; it was left lying near the icons and used as a miraculous remedy.
In Russia, the first meal after the long Great Lent, breaking the fast, began with a consecrated colored egg. On Friday, during Easter week, it was customary to treat the young people who came to visit the mother-in-law, especially the son-in-law, with eggs, as stated in the saying: “If you have a son-in-law, prepare a sieve of eggs.”
They took the colored eggs to the cemetery to christen with the deceased, the “parents,” so that they too would break their fast. In this case, one or a couple of eggs were crumbled onto the grave or left whole near the cross, and sometimes even buried. The peasants believed that the birds, for whom a crushed egg was placed on the grave, would remember the deceased and ask God for him, thanks to this, his soul would receive relief in the next world. In addition, eggs were distributed to the poor in exchange for souls.
