Basic Relaxing Mandala #27 - Free Coloring Page

At the center, an empty eight-pointed star sits inside eight petals filled with spiral scrollwork, alternating with heart shapes marked by two small circles. A ring of tiny circles, a band of triangular chevrons, a second ring of small circles, and a scalloped band with small dots follow. A series of thin, closely spaced circles leads into two rows of large pointed petals, textured like veined leaves, closing the mandala in a jagged outer edge rather than a plain circle.

This mandala coloring page pairs large, easy-to-fill surfaces on the outer petals with much finer central areas, where the scrollwork and rings of small circles call for a steady, precise line. It suits someone already comfortable with detailed designs, able to keep a fine tip inside tight shapes; expect one to two hours from center to outer petal.

Start on the big outer petals to warm up before tackling the central scrollwork and the two rings of small circles, the trickiest parts of the design; a fine-tip marker or a well-sharpened pencil works better than a broad marker here. For this printable mandala, choose A4 paper of at least 200 gsm so the ink doesn't bleed through and the lines stay crisp.
