First, prepare boiled eggs, pick out whole eggs and draw eggs with them. Determine the pattern you want to draw on the egg. You can look for the pattern on the Internet and draw it, or you can play it freely and do whatever you want. The goal is to draw eyes for eggs. First, choose a good pigment, and draw two big circles with red pigment as the outline of the eyes.
Dip in the paint again, and use a brush to point a point at the center of each circle as the eyeball part of the eye. Change into green pigment and draw beautiful eyelashes for your eyes. Dry the paint, enjoy the results and draw a simple egg.
In Qing Dynasty, egg-colored paintings were popular in Jiangsu, Hunan, Beijing and other places. During the reign of Jiaqing and Daoguang (1796 ~ 1850), Suzhou folk had the custom of making fireflies, that is, sticking five-color paper on duck egg shells and then drawing them into fish shapes. There is a small hole in the eggshell, and fireflies are placed in the hole, which emit faint light through the eggshell at night for children to play with. During the period of Daoguang and Xianfeng in Xi Hunag, Hunan Province (18,21~18,61), Tang Taizong's Fu on the Mountain was lightly engraved in small letters on the eggshell.
During Guangxu period (1875 ~ 1908), there were painted Peking Opera masks and "Zodiac" eggs on the market in Beijing. Since the 1940s, egg-colored paintings have been mainly produced in Suzhou, and become a traditional local folk handicraft. 1950, Suzhou artist Zhou Gongdu painted tiger hills and other scenic spots on duck egg shells on the basis of traditional eggs, with bright colors. Sang Guoyan of Huqiu Temple also participated in painting, which improved the artistic level of egg-colored painting.
