Zentangle Mandala #16 - Free Coloring Page

A tiny white circle sits at the heart of this mandala, wrapped in two layers of slender, pointed petals dotted with small ringed circles. A fine line closes off the center before a ring of twelve rounded petals, each finished with a dot. A second line opens the widest band: twelve triangular points with hatched, leaf-tipped tops, alternating with twelve pleated fan shapes in thin radiating lines, with small dotted circles filling the remaining gaps. The outer edge stays a plain, unbroken circle.

The linework is fine and dense, with hatching packed into the triangular points and fans: this mandala coloring page demands precision in the outer band's small spaces. The central petals, broader, color faster. It suits an experienced colorist comfortable with fine detail; allow two to three hours for the whole piece.

A fine-tip marker or hard pencil keeps the hatching crisp without bleeding past the lines; start with the central flower to set a palette, then save the small dotted circles, the fussiest part, for last. Printed as a printable mandala, it holds up best on heavier 200gsm paper at A4 or letter size.
