Art Nouveau Mandala #21 - Free Coloring Page

Six curling petals spiral together at the heart of the mandala, each hollowed with fine scrollwork turning back on itself. Around them, scalloped, heart-shaped points open outward, followed by a band of ribbed fan shapes separated by small clusters of three beads and a few lone teardrops. Further out, large S-shaped curls unfurl in the manner of Art Nouveau ironwork, with tiny leaves and acorns tucked into the corners. A thin double circle closes the composition.

The line stays fine throughout, especially in the ribbed fans and bead clusters, which call for a steady, pointed tip; the large petals and sweeping S-curls, by contrast, give wide, easy-to-fill areas. This printable mandala suits someone already used to dense Art Nouveau patterns rather than a first attempt: allow a good hour to work through every band without rushing.

Fine markers or well-sharpened pencils work better here than broad markers, especially for the bead clusters and the fan ribbing, the most delicate spots on the page. Start with the simpler spiral center first. Print this mandala coloring page on A4 paper of at least 200gsm for a crisp, bleed-free result.
