Ornate Paisley Mandala #22 - Free Coloring Page

An eight-petal flower fills nearly the whole circle of this mandala coloring page. At the center, a small double-ringed disc holds a tiny rosette of eight petals. The eight large petals around it are packed with paisley curls, tight spirals and small dotted circles. Between their tips runs a band of short leaves and four-petal flowers, then a crown of slender pointed leaves closes the circle, framed by two clean lines.

The line stays fine throughout, but the open areas vary: the large petals give wide spaces that fill quickly, while the spirals, dots and small leaves at the edge call for a steady hand. This printable mandala suits colorists who enjoy detail, teens and adults patient with small shapes. Expect two to three hours to finish it.

Start with the central rosette and the large petals using medium-tip markers, then switch to a fine liner or a sharpened pencil for the spirals and the outer leaf crown, the most delicate part. Print it on A4 at 180gsm to keep the small circles crisp, or on A3 at 250gsm if you're working with alcohol markers.
