Lotus Flower Mandala #44 - Free Coloring Page

At the center, a lotus flower unfolds two layers of pointed petals lined with fine veins; the outer petals, rounder, echo the same striations. A thin ring of small dots surrounds the flower, followed by a band of large pointed petals set along four axes and separated by clusters of flower buds. An outer band, divided into eight sections by radial lines, alternates coiled scrolls with clusters of slender leaves and a small dotted bud. The design closes on a clean double circular line.

The linework stays fine throughout: the large central petals offer restful open areas, while the scrolls and buds along the border call for a fine tip and patience. This mandala coloring page suits someone comfortable with detail work; expect about an hour for the flower alone, two or three more for the outer ring.

Start with the lotus veins using a fine liner or colored pencil to avoid bleeding past the lines, then work outward — the scrolls and small dotted buds in the border are the most delicate areas and are best saved for last. Print this printable mandala at A4 size on paper of at least 200 gsm so felt-tip pens don't bleed through.
