Floral Mandala Coloring #28 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala a peony blooms: a tightly coiled core with fine radiating lines, wrapped in rounded petals layered several rows deep. A ring of veined, pointed sepals and small buds surrounds the flower, then a thin circle separates a band of teardrop shapes curling into tiny spirals. The wide outer border weaves scrollwork, small coiled spirals and pointed leaves out to two clean concentric circles that close the design.

The linework is fine and even, tightening noticeably in the outer border while the central flower leaves large, easy areas to fill. This mandala coloring page suits a mixed audience: broad markers work well on the flower, while fine pencils handle the spiral-filled outer ring. Expect an hour or two to complete it carefully.

Start with the flower's petals, the most generous areas, before tackling the small spirals at the edge, better suited to colored pencils than markers, which tend to bleed into the tiny circles. For this printable mandala, an A4 or letter sheet and at least 160gsm paper will hold up to both pencils and markers without the ink showing through.
