The pysankarky of Chornyi Potik use a technique known as spot dyeing to achieve this wealth of color. They write the white lines on an egg, and then use a tool–a pointed stick or a fine brush–to paint in small details with pink, purple, blue or green dye. This is demonstrated in the photo below of pysankarka Oksana Vasylyshyn (taken by Yuriy Atamniuk):
These areas are waxed in, and then the usual dye progression is used. The result is gorgeous pysanky like the ones in the photos below.
