        What is it particularly that you would like to know about materials on a curved surface?

          Try this:

          1. draw a rectangle as big as the mesh's projection on the red/green plane (the easiest is to use the rectangle tool from one corner to the opposite one)
          2. apply your material on this face*
          3. Right click > Texture > Project
          4. Now sample this projected material with the Alt!Paint bucket tool
          5. and apply it on your curved surface.
            The result should look something like this:

          *you could even turn on hidden geometry and do this and the following ones on a single facet of your surface but this way you can have control over the orientation of your material better.
