What did the painting on Easter eggs mean. My favorite recipes Natural dyes for eggs
The tradition of painting Easter eggs in Russia has an ancient history. Today we will talk about Easter eggs - eggs painted with beeswax and dyed in various colors with all kinds of dyes. They decorated the house with Easter eggs consecrated for Easter, hung them under the icons, they were christened with them and congratulated relatives and friends on the Day of the bright Resurrection of Christ!
The main principle of painting Easter eggs is that hot wax covers the surface of the egg and preserves layer after layer of a complex colorful pattern. Decorating Easter eggs at home is not so difficult - the main thing is to accompany this work with prayer.
You will need fresh eggs without shell defects (preferably medium-sized, with equally rounded ends), food or natural dyes, a wax candle and a waxing tool (a wax application tool that is easy to make yourself by driving a small carnation or sewing machine needle into a pencil ). You can, as of old, use a chicken breast bone.
Eggs for Easter eggs should be washed very carefully so as not to damage the shell and leave scuffs and scratches on it. To make the dirt easily lag behind the shell, you need to put the eggs in warm water and, without using chemical detergents, wait until they are well wet. It is impossible to rub and scrape the shell. After washing, the eggs should be laid out on a towel without wiping.
Fold the clean eggs carefully into a saucepan, fill it with water, add salt at the rate of 1 tbsp. spoon for 2 liters of water and bring to a boil (it is advisable to use a flame spreader on a gas stove so that the eggs do not crack). As soon as the water boils, remove the pan from the heat and carefully, one by one, remove the eggs from the boiling water and spread on a towel to cool.
You can paint not only boiled, but also raw "blown" eggs. To make a "blown" egg, first free the shell from the contents. To strengthen the shell, dip a piece of paper in egg white and seal both ends of the egg. Then pierce holes and drill them with a round file to a millimeter diameter. After that, use a straw to blow out the egg: blow air into one hole, and the contents of the egg at this time will flow out of the other. You can also blow out an egg with a medical syringe, in which case you only need one hole. After the egg is blown, the paper can be peeled off. Empty shells are supposed to be washed from the inside and dried.
When the eggs are dry, you can start painting. Food coloring should be diluted according to manufacturer's instructions. The most suitable dishes for them are glass jars with a wide mouth.
First, apply the intended pattern with a soft pencil, and then proceed to covering the elements of the pattern with wax. To do this, light a candle and cover the egg with hot drops of wax, or dip the nose of the pysanka into melted wax and cover with hot wax those parts of the ornament that should be white on the pysanka. The wax on the egg hardens instantly.
It does not dissolve in water and, therefore, protects the previous, necessarily lighter color of paint with each subsequent dyeing. Put the egg in the spoon and dip it in the yellow paint for 1-2 minutes. The paint should be warm, but not hot, otherwise the wax on the shell will melt, ruining the paint, the pysanka, and your mood. After removing from the paint, blot the egg with a soft cloth. Wax the parts of the pattern that should be yellow and dip the egg into the red paint.
Wax the lines and fields to be red, then paint the egg black. When finished coloring, place the egg in a warm oven or heat it over a candle flame. When the wax on the shell melts, wipe it off with a napkin, and in your palms, brighter than fire, Easter eggs will flare up. Lubricate it with grease or cover it with a thin layer of varnish. Do not despair if the patterns on your Easter egg are not very clear and neat. Mastery will come with experience.
The painted egg, along with cottage cheese Easter and Easter cake, symbolizes the bright Resurrection of Christ. Just as a chick is born from an egg and begins to live a full life after being released from the shell, so people, by the power of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, will someday surely be resurrected for the life of the next century.
Natural dyes for eggs
For coloring, it is best to take white eggs and preferably not stamped.
Ocher. Prepare a decoction of onion peel and boil eggs in it for 15-30 minutes (depending on the cooking time, the color of the eggs will turn out from bright red to dark brown). Yellow. Prepare a decoction of young birch or walnut leaves, strain and boil eggs in it over low heat for 10-12 minutes from the moment of boiling.
Pink. Put boiled eggs in cranberry or beetroot juice (for a more delicate shade, you can simply rub the shell with juice).
Violet. Dip the violet flowers in hot water and leave overnight. Put boiled eggs into the prepared infusion (if you add a little lemon juice to the water, you get a lavender color).
Blue. Finely chop a head of red cabbage and pour 0.5 liters of water, adding 6 tbsp. tablespoons of vinegar. Put the boiled eggs in the infusion and leave overnight.
Green. Boil eggs with finely chopped spinach leaves for 10-12 minutes from the moment of boiling.
Blue. Grate the shell of a boiled egg with blueberry juice
Dark brown. Prepare strong coffee and boil eggs in it.
When the painted eggs have cooled, grease them with sunflower oil - they will become smooth and shiny.

Painting Easter eggs.
« Expensive egg for Christ's day, ”says the well-known Russian proverb Easter eggs are specially painted eggs that are given to each other for Easter. However, when watching the news, I heard how they are called either “krashenka”, then “pysanky”, or even “galunky”. And I had a question “Why is this happening?”. And I decided to find an answer to it. (slide 2)
Here's what I managed to find out. Easter eggs are an attribute of one of the main religious holidays of Christians - the day of commemoration of the "miraculous Resurrection" of Jesus Christ crucified on the cross. Symbol Easter a long time ago was an egg. Giving each other Easter eggs, Christians profess faith in their Resurrection. So what are the main types of eggs that are given for Easter?
Krashenka- the well-known testicle, which is boiled and painted in different colors. This is done for Easter and Seeing. 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 testicle. It was done like this. The egg was dyed some color. And then they lit a wax candle, and dripped wax on the testicle. It froze, and the egg was dipped in a different color. There could be any number of flowers. (slide 4)
Malevanka is a more complex type. This technique also uses wax and special brushes. Or just brushes with which the testicle was painted. A woman or children (which also often happened) painted whatever they wanted on the testicle (slide 5)
Dryapanka- this is a testicle that is scratched, thus applying an ornament on a single-color paint. They usually scratch with a metal point. (slide 6)
Pysanka- the most complex and most ancient type of painting. Patterns and ornaments were strictly passed down from generation to generation. Easter eggs are amulets. The main colors of the pysanka ornament
The art of pysanka is accessible to everyone. If you want to master it, stock up on the necessary materials. Chicken eggs are not a problem, they are always in the house. And you will also need: food coloring for dyeing Easter eggs, beeswax, a household paraffin candle (unpainted and odorless), matches, a soft simple pencil, napkins and a brush - a tool for applying hot wax to the egg shell. Dilute the dyes with hot water, add vinegar - the paint is ready. And you can create! What only ornaments and symbols were not applied to the eggs! In my report you can read about their meanings! (slide 8)
In the past, in the manufacture of all types of painted eggs, vegetable dyes were used - a decoction of oak and apple bark, alder branches, onion husks, water lilies, green rye, nettle roots. See how you can achieve certain colors! (slide 9)
Now 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, got acquainted with the technique and types of painting work, conducted an oral survey of third-grade students, and revealed the presence of 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 an approximate work program for the school circle "Painting from the Heart", which I plan to use in the next academic year. The purpose of our program: development of the student's personality, his creative abilities and individual talents through the arts and crafts of painting. - the development of the creative individuality of everyone, the motivation for independent creativity. To this end, children are introduced to the history of the development of the craft, the creative works of folk craftsmen. On the example of these works and the works of the teacher, students first imitate, copy, and then they themselves make up their own ornaments and compositions. Pupils bring something of their own, personal, reflect their own vision to each work.
I also developed a catalog with my work on painting Easter eggs, which you will find in the appendix to my work. And she found for herself the answer to the main question of her research “Why are Easter eggs called differently?”. Because the technique of their painting is different. And the meaning is also different. According to the data collected in the course of an oral survey of children and a conversation with the teaching staff, as well as studies of special literature, I can conclude that painting Easter eggs is a very relevant and interesting topic. My opinion is in line with this conclusion. I learned a lot, and now I'm not going to stop there. It is possible that when I grow up, I will become an egg painter and teach this beautiful art to other people.

Thank you for your attention! I will be glad to answer your questions!
(after the question was asked) we say - Thank you for the question! (and then we answer it).
Here are even the eggs Easter we can not only paint in onion peel, but also to paint, color, ... This is a limitless field for the realization of the inspired Ukrainian soul.
So, what types of Easter eggs have Ukrainian acquired?
What are the names themselves worth? Easter eggs, pysanky, drapanki, krapanki. Well, isn't it wonderful?
Krashenki
Let's start with the simplest. Easter eggs- the name comes from the word to paint, paint. Making eggs is very easy. For this, it is better to use onion peel. It is added to boiling water, where eggs are then boiled for 15-20 minutes. The color will be very rich and beautiful. And to get other colors, you can place already boiled eggs in a warm solution of food colors for several minutes. In the old days, our ancestors dyed eggs in a slightly different way. They wrapped them with oak, birch, nettle leaves, tied them with threads and boiled them.
Much more difficult, but no less common, is this type of Easter eggs. Fortunately, today they are being revived, masters of pysanka painting. Painting with confidence can be called a real view proper Ukrainian art.
Both geometric figures and elements of flora and fauna can be used in the painting. Each region of Ukraine had its own paintings, which manifested itself in the prevailing ornaments and colors. So for the Carpathian region the following are typical: yellow, red, black, Chergivshchyna - red, black, white, Poltava region - yellow, light green, white.
Tradition required that eggs be dyed and painted on Maundy Thursday. We had to start with the first call. The painting was done on a raw chicken egg. First, he was basted in yellow paint, which was called "apple tree". Each color of the ornament. Then the eggs were dipped in hot water and brought to the fire. The wax melted - so the pysanka was born. And to make it shiny, it was lubricated fat.
Learning how to paint Easter eggs is not at all difficult. See how a real master of arts and crafts does it, draw original ideas for inspiration and bring bold ideas to life. I'm sure you will succeed!
For this species, eggs should be selected brown shades, it is believed that they are somewhat stronger. Of course, they must be boiled and painted in some dark, saturated colors. After the eggs are dry, you can already start applying pencil pattern. To make a drapanka, you need some sharp object. Ideal than, awl, scissors, thick needle. They then apply the pattern.
Pay attention! A pattern or design will look better on a drape with a brown base or any other dark color base.
This view, of course, involves dripping. But what, what, where? Everything is very simple. A boiled egg is dyed any color. When it dries, drops of wax are applied to it. After the wax hardens, the egg is painted in some other color. Then you can either carefully scrape off the drops of wax, or lower the egg into hot water - and it will melt itself.
You can decorate your table for Easter in different ways, for example, by painting Easter eggs. You can do this in 1000 and 1 ways. Try to paint eggs both “as God puts on your soul”, and in a certain folk style: like Khokhloma, a Dymkovo toy, or even Palekh. On this page - a step-by-step description with a photo of 3 eggs: with the painting "Roses", "Under Khokhloma" and "Matryoshka".
To have plenty to choose from.
So, how to paint an egg.
Necessary materials for creating Easter eggs
- egg
- medical syringe
- sewing needle
- acrylic paints
- brushes
- simple pencil
- clear furniture varnish
- cotton swab
- sponge
- paper napkins
The first step in creating any painted eggs
Wash the raw chicken egg with warm water and dry.
On both sides (opposite), make small holes with a needle. Using a medical syringe, extract all contents.
Rinse the shell, also inside (using a syringe). Wipe off.
Easter painted egg "Roses"
The painting of the egg will be done using the technique of a double stroke: you need to pick up white paint on one edge of the brush, and red (or another) on the other.Step 1. With a simple pencil, apply a sketch of the future drawing to the surface of the shell.
Step 2 Apply the first, farthest row of rose petals to the surface of the shell (the white side of the brush should be on top).
Step 3 Do the same with the next, middle petals, trying to brush over the surface only once.
Step 5. Apply white lines along the contour of the petals with acrylic paint, thereby highlighting the border between the petals (creating some natural bend).
Step 6. Turn the shell upside down and proceed to the second rose. To highlight it, it will be in a different color scheme. The drawing is identical to the first. Pick up blue and white paint on the brush. Its excess can be removed with one stroke on a palette or a blank sheet of paper. The pattern also originates from the upper petals.
Step 7 Similarly apply to the shell in the same sequence and the rest of the petals. The flowers are ready and you can proceed to the leaves. For some leaves, darken the pointed ends with black paint.
Step 8 Using green and yellow paint, paint the leaves, also using the double stroke method. In some places, you can apply more yellow paint.
Step 9 Finish the composition by drawing stamens with light movements. Leave the paint to dry completely.
Step 10 Do the same with the other side of the shell.
Step 11 Cover the entire surface of the egg with a thin layer of colorless furniture varnish. Let dry.
Easter painted egg "Khokhloma"
Easter eggs can be decorated in various ways, for example, painted using Khokhloma motifs.
Khokhloma is an old Russian folk craft that originated in the Novgorod region in the 17th century. Masters decorated wooden utensils and furniture with this decorative painting.
On a black background, elements of Khokhloma were painted in gold and red, sometimes green. Traditionally, these are strawberries and raspberries, branches, flowers, as well as animals and birds, fish.
The procedure for creating an egg "under Khokhloma":
Step 1 see above (freeing the egg from the contents).
Step 2 With a pencil, draw on the surface of the egg the contour of the main elements of the picture - berries and leaves. Paint over the contour of the strawberries with red paint.
Step 3 Draw rowan berries in the same way. To make them even, you can use a cotton swab: draw paint on one end and apply a pattern, applying it to the surface of the shell.
Step 4 The remaining free space between the elements should be carefully painted over with the main background - black paint.
Step 5 Draw leaves with yellow (or golden) paint.
Step 6 On the surface of strawberries, apply specks - seeds.
Step 7 Draw stems with a thin brush. Complement the composition with greenery.
Draw a stalk at the base of strawberries. Draw the seeds for rowan berries.
Step 8 Using a cotton swab, apply small flowers to the surface of the egg.
Step 9 With the thinnest brush, draw veins on the leaves.
Step 10 Draw lines on the stalks, and pointwise - the stamens of the flowers.
Step 11 When the paint is completely dry, cover the egg with a thin layer of furniture varnish, preferably colorless.
Easter painted egg "Matryoshka"
Step 1 see above (freeing the egg from the contents).
Step 2 With a pencil, "sketch" a sketch of the future matryoshka.
Step 3 Lightly paint over the handkerchief with blue paint. You need to work carefully so as not to go beyond the drawing.
Step 4 With a small brush, draw the eyes and hair on the matryoshka. Their color depends on your personal preferences, as well as the elements of the nesting doll wardrobe.
Step 5 Put on a handkerchief small dots - peas. Paint over the sundress with red paint.
Step 6 With the thinnest brush, draw the cilia, strands of hair and the bends of the handkerchief.
Step 7 Decorate the sundress with flowers.
Step 8 Give the nesting doll a smile by painting her lips. Finish the sleeves, arms and draw lines - willow stalks.
Step 9 Dotted with white paint willow buds. With a thin and long brush, add a little contrasting black, forming a curve on the sleeves.
The drawing is ready and the paint needs to dry.
Step 10 And the final touch. Coat the surface of the pattern with a colorless varnish and dry. Tip: to make the varnish “lie down” more evenly, it is better to apply it with a clean sponge.
Easter eggs were painted by Marina Tofan.
Preparation for the bright holiday of the Resurrection of Christ is a special process. The key place in it is occupied by coloring and decorating eggs. It does not matter at all if you do not master the art of drawing, because there is a more interesting and relaxing technique.
Drapanki, or scratches, are made by scratching a pattern on the painted surface of an egg. The drawing is applied with a pencil, and then scratched with a thin metal object (needle, knife, nail). The main condition is that the background must be one-color.
When making drapanok, craftswomen can give free rein to their imagination, and looking at their work, it is impossible not to admire these works of art. Editorial "So simple!" prepared 15 ideas for your inspiration.
