Garden Bloom Mandala #22 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala sits an eight-petal flower, its rounded petals fanning out around a core of small concentric circles. A thin circle frames it, then a dense band of scrollwork, tiny flowers and dots forms a tightly packed ring. A second ring alternates ribbed arch shapes with small clusters of leaves and berries. The outer edge is not a clean circle: it's built from large daisy-like flowers with a double row of petals, separated by pointed leaves, which shape the mandala's scalloped border themselves.

The linework is fine and tightens considerably across the two inner rings, where the spirals and dots call for a fine-tip pen to stay inside the lines. The central petals and the outer daisies, by contrast, offer large, easy-to-fill areas. This mandala coloring page suits someone already comfortable with detail work, who can spend a good hour on the scrollwork before finding an easier rhythm on the outer petals. Expect two to three hours for the whole piece.

Starting with the outer daisies and the central petals builds confidence before tackling the fine scrollwork, where colored pencils or fine gel pens give more control than a broad marker. For this printable mandala, use heavy 200 gsm paper at A4 or letter size so repeated layers of color don't bleed through.
