Art Nouveau Mandala #5 - Free Coloring Page

This mandala's outer edge isn't a plain circle: six large rounded petals, each hollowed out with a swirl, bulge outward into an open-flower silhouette. Just inside, a thin double-lined circle closes off a ring of tight comma-shaped spirals that alternate with small triangular points. Closer to the middle, another ring of long tapered petals fans out into a six-armed star, separated by slim diamond leaves. At the very center sits a small six-petaled rosette that ties the design together.

The line stays fine and even from center to rim, but the cells keep multiplying: tiny diamonds, drops, and tightly wound spirals leave little room for a heavy tip. This mandala coloring page suits someone already comfortable with detailed work rather than a first-timer, and it takes a solid hour or more depending on how many colors you use.

Start with the six outer petals, which are easiest to keep inside the lines, before tackling the central spirals with fine-tipped pencils rather than broad markers. For crisp results, this printable mandala works best on A4 paper at least 200gsm, heavy enough that ink or marker won't bleed through.
