Art Nouveau Mandala #1 - Free Coloring Page

This printable mandala opens with a small six-pointed flower traced around a central dot and lined with short veined leaves. A first ring of slim, double-outlined petals surrounds it, followed by a band of large rounded hearts, then a row of pointed arches each holding a spiral. The outer ring alternates broad comma-shaped scrolls with small heart-topped arches and scattered tiny dots; the edge itself isn't a clean circle or a beaded ring but a scalloped outline formed by the points and scrolls.

The linework stays fine throughout, with many small compartments: the hearts and arches give medium-sized areas that are easy to fill, while the spirals and the petal veins call for a fine tip. This mandala coloring page suits someone already comfortable with dense patterns, and takes an hour or two, possibly split across sessions.

Start with the hearts and arches, which cover quickly, before tackling the outer scrolls and the fine central veins, best handled with a fine liner or a sharply sharpened pencil. When printing, this design holds up best on at least 200gsm paper at A4 size, heavy enough to stop ink or marker bleeding through.
