Art Nouveau Mandala #16 - Free Coloring Page

Sweeping Art Nouveau curves spiral outward from a six-lobed, heart-petaled flower at the center, each petal doubled by fine concentric lines. Tucked between the petals, six tiny flower buds sit in the notches, barely bigger than the lines around them. The same six points then stretch into broad curling fronds that twist into whiplash scrolls and taper into pointed leaves, filling the disc almost to its edge. Small triangles and hooked shapes close the remaining gaps before a plain double-line circle finishes the design, with no beads or scalloped edge.

The linework stays thin and even throughout, but the open space varies a lot: the fronds near the middle give wide, easy sections to fill, while the central buds and the hooked curls near the border are tight and will test a sharp pencil. This printable mandala suits someone who already enjoys a mandala coloring page and has a couple of hours free, since the outer scrollwork takes longer than the flower itself.

Start at the center flower to set a palette before tackling the fronds, and save fine-tipped pencils for the narrow curls rather than markers, which will bleed through the thin lines. Print on A4 or letter-size cardstock, at least 200gsm, to keep the fine lines crisp.
