Art Nouveau Mandala #19 - Free Coloring Page

Six heart-shaped lobes fan out from the middle of this mandala, each packed with curling scrolls and leaf shapes in an Art Nouveau acanthus style. At the very center sits a tiny white circle wrapped in a rosette of interlaced petals, then a ring of tight spirals before the lobes begin. Small flower buds reach the edge, closed off by a clean double circle.

The line stays fine and dense from the center out to the heart lobes, leaving little open space for broad color fields. This printable mandala suits someone comfortable with small, repetitive details rather than a first attempt, and takes two to four hours depending on how many shades you use. The six repeating lobes keep the piece readable even with a limited palette.

Start at the central rosette with a sharp colored pencil before moving outward, since the tight spirals between the heart lobes are the fussiest part to keep clean — a fine liner holds those curls better than a marker. For this mandala coloring page, print at A3 on 200gsm paper so the thinnest scrollwork doesn't clog when ink or heavier pencil layers are applied.
