Painting Easter eggs à la Bob Ross
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: The Bob Ross Easter egg campaign from Lidl.
Do you always let the kids splash around with watercolors to decorate the Easter eggs? That will come to an end this year, as we are going to tackle those decorations professionally. Out with your messing around, because with the help of the wonderful ‘Lidl's painting egg’ you will learn to paint your Easter egg like Bob Ross.
Artist Bob Ross is not dead, he lives on! Not the man himself, of course, as he sadly passed away in 1995, but his painting lives on thanks to certified Bob Ross instructors like Riek. In a quarter-hour video, she shows how to transform an Easter egg into a real Bob Ross artwork. In the first little painting, Riek creates a beautiful landscape with a waterfall, a forest, and a mysterious cloudy sky.

Rock formations on your egg
Riek paints with oil paint in typical Bob Ross colors: sap green and Van Dyck brown. True connoisseurs also recognize Bob's palette knife with which Riek creates rock formations. The egg is from Kipster, and that is a animal-friendly white egg. Don't have oil paint? Then you can also comfortably work with acrylic paint.
What a waste!
But wait a minute: Riek is painting with oil paint. Can you still eat the eggs? Maybe it's better not to, as that paint contains solvents and color pigments that are considered small chemical waste. It doesn't matter, because the waterfall egg is such a piece of art that breaking it is just a shame.
