Artistic Abstract Mandala #15 - Free Coloring Page

A scalloped border of small rounded petal shapes closes this design instead of a plain circle, echoing back toward a central flower built from two layers of pointed petals around a tiny disc, itself ringed by a thread of tiny beads. Between the two, five concentric bands carry the bulk of the pattern: a sawtooth ring of triangles, a strip of spirals alternating with dotted squares, a wide zone where fan-shaped clusters of connected dots sit next to stacked leaves tipped with small berries, and a row of curved comma-like teardrops.

This printable mandala mixes large, calm areas - the central petals, the stacked leaves - with demanding ones: the dotted clusters and the fine spirals need a steady, thin point and real patience. It suits an experienced colorist willing to spend an hour or two on it; beginners and children can focus on the central flower and the triangle band, leaving the busier rings for later.

Start with the central flower and the bead ring using fine liners, then move outward - the dotted clusters are the trickiest part and reward a sharpened pencil rather than a broad marker. For this mandala coloring page, print on A4 or US letter cardstock (170-200 gsm) so felt-tip ink won't bleed through the fine lines.
