Awesome to hear. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a goose egg.

Thanks! I tried pouring on a half of a small goose egg & it came out pretty good. I have since put goose eggs on a stick made to hold eggs and rolled it in the drippings from pours. The 2nd one came out much better than the first one.

Put a base coat on. Make sure it covers everything. You might need a brush or to use your finger to get the the very bottom. Then pour over the wet base coat. The paint will almost all the way to the bottom on the slick base coat. You might have to move it a little with a brush or your finger to get it the final way.

You could also have your egg on a stick tilted slightly and then rotate it so the paint goes the bottom fine on one side then rotate it as you pour.

I want to pour over an ostrich egg. How do I get the paint to cover the entire shell? Thinking I would have to rotate the egg some. It would be mounted on a pole through the drain hole.

I don’t gesso anything that is pre-primed. Sometimes I use a flood or base coat depending on how I want my painting to tilt and you definitely need some of a base coat to make an open cup work in general.

Glad you liked it. let me know if you have more questions Margaret.

It happens to all of us.
