Egg painting tricks

Printing Easter eggs is fun and you really care about how they will look. You tried to paint them, draw on them, maybe even soaked in vinegar? But if you do not know this trick, there is a chance that you will be disappointed with preliminary results.

If your eggs are too dim, no matter how long you will soak them in paint, it is more about the eggs used than the process itself. It turns out that you should use brown instead of dyeing white eggs.

Brown eggs – brighter colors

How can a brown egg paint better than white? The reason why brown eggs paint better is that this darker shade gives the paint a deeper appearance, and the white shell turns even the brightest shades into pastel.

There is an explanation that brown eggs are more natural, so less processed than white eggs. Also brown eggs can have a greater surface porous, so the paint is better absorbed into the shell layers. However, it depends on each egg individually, not color. Thus, brown eggs can be a good choice for Easter eggs, but it depends on personal preferences.
