Art Nouveau Mandala #12 - Free Coloring Page

An eight-point star sits inside a tiny circle at the heart of this abstract mandala, wrapped in six pointed petals each marked with a central vein, like a stylised flower. The next ring alternates six curl-tipped teardrop shapes with striped triangles, edged by a thin band of tiny four-petal flowers. Beyond that, six scalloped arches each carry a small flower cluster, leading into a band where six large triangular points, each topped with a round bead, alternate with spirals and more miniature flowers. The outer edge closes with a wide band of straight sunburst rays, then a clean, thin double circle — no beading, no scalloping.

The linework is fine and the pattern dense: most cells are small, especially in the tiny-flower band and the outer rays. This mandala coloring page suits a steady hand used to detail work, and takes roughly two to three hours with sharp pencils or fine markers to keep the small areas clean.

Start with the central star and its six petals, the easiest shapes to isolate, before tackling the outer rays, the fiddliest part of the design. A 0.3mm fineliner helps keep the tiny flowers crisp. For this printable mandala, print on A3 at 200gsm so the paper holds up under repeated shading.
