Autumn Mandala #11 - Free Coloring Page

A single acorn sits at the centre, boxed in by four oak leaves whose pointed lobes close around it like a diamond. A circular band frames this medallion, and the ring beyond it repeats eight pairs of oak leaves alternating with clusters of small round berries. Further out, eight heart-shaped scroll motifs fill the width of the border, separated by slender wheat-like sprigs; the outer edge isn't a plain circle but a wavy line that follows the curl of the scrolls.

The linework stays fine throughout, but the real challenge sits in the berry clusters and sprigs, made of very small shapes to fill one by one. The oak leaves and the scrollwork around the edge give wider, calmer areas to shade. This printable mandala coloring page suits someone already comfortable with detail work, and takes more than one sitting to finish.

Start with the acorn and its four leaves, then move to the berry clusters with a fine liner or a sharp pencil — they need the steadiest hand, along with the wheat sprigs near the border. For this printable mandala, use heavy paper, at least 200gsm, in A4 or A3, so the small berry clusters stay crisp and the ink doesn't bleed through.
