Art Nouveau Mandala #18 - Free Coloring Page

This mandala's outer edge isn't a plain circle: it's shaped by the pointed tips of large acanthus leaves curling into scrolls, giving the rim a soft scalloped silhouette. Those leaves fill most of the disc and lead inward to a ring of small heart-shaped petals set with tiny diamond facets, then to fine comma-shaped scrolls curving around a single small circle at the very center. Six identical repeats build the whole pattern.

The linework is thin and often doubled to trace the leaves' ridges, which packs many small areas near the center, while the large outer leaves leave wide, easy-to-fill surfaces. This printable mandala suits colorists who enjoy fine detail and don't mind taking their time — expect a good hour of steady work to finish it.

Save fine liners or sharpened pencils for the diamond facets and central scrolls, and switch to broader pencils for the outer leaves; start with the outer ring before moving toward the center. For this mandala coloring page, print on 200 gsm A4 paper so the thin lines stay crisp without bleed-through.
