  • In this video I show you the step by step process of painting watercolor eggs for Easter! I used a simple color palette and used simple spring designs to paint these plastic textured eggs with watercolor. Painted eggs are so fun for easter and spring. I found these eggs at Walmart for less than $2 and can keep them and their designs forever. If you use real eggs, you can look up videos on youtube to blow them out and then you can also save those forever. My kids love using watercolor to paint eggs and we always have the best time doing it! I hope you try this one out

    I bought solid wooden eggs, sprayed them with matte primer and watercolor adhered beautifully.

    Super cute and creative. All our chickens make brown eggs so not sure how well the watercolor would show up. But the colors show up great on the white eggs.

    So, . . . . . you didn't coat them with any type of sealant or whatever?? (or was it an afterthought, after your taping?) Of course I could just spray them (I see that I've got some [Dutch Boy] Fresh Look, acrylic), I'm just wondering what worked -- or failed? -- for you! I have used a spray acrylic on eggs, only over (gingham) FABRIC. Thanks!

    Can you dye the egg then use watercolor over to add a pattern?

    [ 'An aside😊: Are (you) Dutch, by any chance? It's not "just the same", but I know that 'VanLeuken' is a very Dutch name! 'Just curious about the name difference/closeness!🤗]

    Those are not safe to eat. So not sutable for the european tradition as we are supposed to use them in an egg cracking game and eat them. We use specific egg paints which you can buy in most countries here.

    Hi I was wondering what paint kit do you use ? Do you buy your brushes separately? You’re very talented!
