Daisy Flowers Mandala #35 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala sits a large daisy with two layers of long, veined petals around a small round core. A ring of paired spiral scrolls circles the flower, followed by a thin band of uneven dots and a scalloped, wave-like border trimmed with small pointed leaves and curling berry clusters at eight points. The outer ring lines up sixteen smaller daisies with plain petals, separated by clusters of circles and dots of different sizes, and the whole design closes with a solid, clean black circle.

The linework stays fine on the spirals, dots and petal veins, but opens into broader shapes on the central petals and the sixteen outer daisies, giving real space to fill in. This mandala coloring page suits a child working the large flowers just as well as an adult lingering over the spirals and the ring of dots, with fineliners or gel pens. Expect about an hour for the open areas, closer to two if every dot and scroll gets its own shade.

Start with the core and the two rows of central petals, which hold flat color easily, before moving to the spirals and dot ring, best handled with a fine-tipped pen or a sharpened pencil. The berry clusters beside the leaves and the small outer circles are the fiddliest spots, so leave them for last. Print this printable mandala on A4 paper at 160-200 gsm so the petal tips stay crisp under marker ink.
