Kaleidoscope Mandala #21 - Free Coloring Page

Eight almond-shaped petals, each carrying a small dotted diamond and tight cross-hatching, wrap around a floral core: a plain white circle fringed by thin pointed rays. A circle line closes off this central rosette. Beyond it, eight wider sections repeat the rhythm - fringed flowers, flame-shaped leaves, hatched triangles, dotted diamonds. Several thin concentric rings of scalloped arcs follow, before the outline settles into a wide, rounded lobed border rather than a plain circle.

The linework stays fine and tight from the center out to the scalloped rings, with plenty of small enclosed shapes from the cross-hatching and dotting - this mandala coloring page suits a steady hand, teens and adults more than young children. Expect two to three unhurried hours to cover it fully.

Start with the outer lobes and the scalloped rings using broad markers, then switch to a fine liner or pencil for the dotted diamonds and cross-hatched petals near the center, the fussiest part of the sheet. For this printable mandala, print on A4 at 200gsm or heavier so marker ink won't bleed through.
