Galactic Easter eggs. Unusual easter eggs painted in the style of the galaxy
The cosmos has been beckoning man since time immemorial. Feel like a tiny part of the galaxy - an inexpressible feeling! There are moments when it seems that the stars are very close, you just have to stretch your hand ... For those who admire the cosmos, this idea will be a real find.
After all, you can apply a space print not only on Easter eggs as suggested below. If you make these artistically perfect eggs for Easter, which will come very soon, believe me, the holiday will be remembered for a long time by those who see it!
Space eggs for Easter
You will need
- acrylic paint in different colors (black, white, blue, purple, yellow, pink)
- eggs (regular boiled eggs or wooden dummies)
- sponge
- hard brush
- container with water
The result will be great anyway. To create these space eggs, serious artistic skills are not needed at all. Great idea for fun with kids!
Such original decoration of easter eggs can be made a winning interior detail. A dark wooden basket, purple paper and galaxy patterned eggs laid out on it will be a mesmerizing sight. Space in your palm will remind you that we are all one.
Show your friends this fantastically cool idea - no reason to limit your creative impulses!
Soon there will be a holiday of Easter of Christ and one of the attributes of this holiday, in addition to Easter cakes, are painted eggs. I remember how I used to boil them in onion scales, and beetroot broth. Then dyes and polymer shrink films with images began to appear. But it always seemed to me the most interesting when I saw something unusual - not just a painted egg, but with a leaf or a flower, which was either glued before painting or then painted by hand.
But now, when spaceships plow the expanses of the universe, you can take a swing at something global and put "galactic" eggs in an Easter basket.
What do you think?
If you like it, let's try again!
Unfortunately, the original idea was to paint artificial eggs with acrylic paints, but you must admit that this is a little uninteresting. Therefore, I found on the net that there are food gel dyes, and it is with them that I myself will try to color. To be honest, I myself have not worked with such material yet, so I don’t know what the result will be, but it’s worth a try!
Well, now a little about the original idea.
What we need:
- dyes of different colors;
- brush with hard bristles;
- brush with soft bristles or sponge;
- Precautions for working with paints (this is selected experimentally).
1. We paint the eggs in the base black color and wait for the paint to dry completely.
2. We are preparing an "easel" for drawing. You can use a blue-violet palette with white and gold. But no one bothers to experiment.
3. We leave some of the eggs black, some we slightly matte with a soft brush or sponge and again wait for it to dry completely. At this stage, the basis of the galaxy is created, which can be a spiral or just a nebula. We continue to experiment.
4. We add a few "bloopers" in other colors, for example, raspberry and blue - in the movies and in the pictures, the galaxies are beautiful. For interesting effects, you can try mixing paints before they dry.
5. With a practically dry brush (lightly dipped in paint and you can even wipe it after that on paper or rags), add inhomogeneities of stellar matter in black and pulsars in gold. At this stage, it is not necessary to adhere to clarity in drawing and it is better to make chaotic strokes.
6. Now we take white paint, put it in a convenient jar and dilute it to the consistency of milk.
Here it is better to experiment with dyes, because. different dyes can behave differently.
Our task is to take a brush with hard bristles, dip it in paint and use your finger to splatter the stars over our galaxy. To begin with, it is better to practice on a test surface. It is necessary to make the consistency of the paint such that the drops, hitting the surface, do not spread, but freeze. If you spray paint splashes from different distances, you can achieve the effect of star clusters, or vice versa, distant and starless expanses.
And do not forget that the paint will fly in all directions and in order not to wash everything around for a long time - take precautions!
And now you just need to wait for complete drying. The result is a lot of unique Easter eggs - galaxies. The creation process is not fast, but admiring glances are guaranteed!
All that remains is to arrange the eggs beautifully, for example, in a basket decorated with purple paper, and the little universe is ready.
I invite everyone to discuss the article on our
This best space Easter egg design is inspired by Whoopi Goldberg's science video at the Celebrating Space space exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bronville.
To you will be required:
- Artificial eggs in a shade as close to white or white as possible (or real eggs that you will not eat later),
- Black acrylic paint and other colors (see below),
- Ordinary brushes for paints,
- Brushes in the form of sponges - a lot,
- Hard brush
- Cup for water and dilution of paint,
- Palette or cardboard disposable plate.
1. Color the eggs black. In two layers. We paint half of the egg, put it on a stand until dry, then paint the second half, let it dry again. And then again in the same way with the second layer.
2. We collect acrylic paints of the following colors: blue, magenta, black, white and gold. Hue is not so important, the main thing is a specific color, which you can then dilute to a lighter one. Next, we breed the palette for the desired shades - see the picture below.
4. While the paint on the egg is still wet, dip the brush into the black paint and make a swirl here and there with the brush on the egg. Don't work too hard with the brush or you'll just mix the 2 colors and end up with an almost solid egg rather than the required ephemeral nebulae. This is the first version of the egg - set it aside for now to dry before applying the imitation stars.
5. Take a cheap sponge brush and another black egg, and start applying the darkest shade of blue paint available by blotting the surface of the egg. In this case, it is greenish-blue. Then dip the sponge into the next darkest blue-blue shade and blot it over the traces of the first, but make sure that under the new layer you can still see the old, darker one, especially around the edges. Let the paint dry.
6. On a dry egg, by analogy with blue paint, again dab purple, and then pink, narrowing the application area. Let the egg dry again.
7. Take another - clean - brush in the form of a sponge and barely moisten it with black paint. Lightly touch the surface of the egg, adding black dots to the pink. This is where it's good to practice before risking messing up all the previous work.
8. Take a new sponge brush again and dip it a little in gold. Lightly touch this color in just a few places of your "nebula" or wherever you feel it is appropriate.
9. Take some white paint and pour some into something small, like a plastic cup cut off at the top. Add a tiny amount of water to the paint to thin the consistency of the paint to the state of a whipped milkshake, which can conditionally be freely drawn through a straw.
10. Take a hard brush and practice working with it, as shown in the picture below. Then dip the brush in white paint, remove almost all the dye from the pile on the edge of the glass, put the brush in your hand, as shown in the picture below, and put your hand in front of the egg - away from it. Then gradually release the bristles with your thumb, but do not do it too quickly and intensely so that you don’t get elongated “splashes” of a “galaxy flying past at speed” on the egg. You just need a few small dots of different sizes that will naturally fall on your nebula on the egg. So, too, first practice on a sheet of paper with paint, calculating the optimal distance from the brush to the egg and the pressure on the bristles. Don't forget to splatter a few "stars" over the rest of the egg when that side dries.
Overall, a simple job, but what a spectacular result! Happy Easter to you!
