Ornate Paisley Mandala #25 - Free Coloring Page

Four large comma-shaped scrolls, curled like shells and hatched inside with fine parallel lines, anchor this mandala, pointing up, down and to each side, with smaller scrolls filling the diagonals between them. The whole pattern grows from a tiny eight-toothed rosette, wrapped in two rings of pointed petals. The outer edge is neither a plain circle nor a beaded ring: eight elongated leaf points dotted with small marks alternate with nested diamonds, giving the whole shape an irregular star outline.

The linework stays fine throughout, including inside the scrolls' internal hatching, which calls for a sharp pencil. The large shell shapes leave broad areas for even coloring, while the nested diamonds and the dot clusters around the rim demand more precision. This printable mandala suits someone already used to busy patterns and willing to spend more than one sitting on it.

A sharp colored pencil or a fine-tip marker keeps the scroll hatching and the rim dots crisp without bleeding into neighboring diamonds. Start with the large scrolls before the central rosette and the rim dots, the most delicate parts of the drawing. For this mandala coloring page, print on A4 or letter paper of at least 200gsm.
