Art Nouveau Mandala #13 - Free Coloring Page

Six identical lobes of curling scrollwork radiate from a tiny six-pointed star at the center. Around that star, six petals marked with a jagged zigzag line open into heart shapes that unfurl into large paisley-like spirals. Between the lobes, small diamond medallions each hold a tight cluster of three dots, and a dense ring of interlocking curls lines the inner edge of the frame before a plain double circle closes the disc.

The linework stays thin and even throughout, but the nested scrolls break the disc into many small, oddly shaped patches, especially along the outer ring and around the central petals. This mandala coloring page suits someone comfortable with fine-tip pens and steady hands rather than a first attempt at coloring. Filling every patch carefully takes a good two to three hours.

Start with the large paisley spirals in the second ring using a medium marker, since they carry the overall structure; save fine liners or sharp colored pencils for the tangled scrollwork near the border, the trickiest part of the page. For this printable mandala, print on A4 paper of at least 200 gsm so felt-tip ink won't bleed through and the double outer circle stays crisp.
