Beginner Zen Mandala #15 - Free Coloring Page

A small ringed center opens into a twelve-point flower with sharp, star-like petals. A double circle sets it apart from a band of small sawtooth triangles, then a second, larger flower with broader pointed petals spreads out like an open lotus. Rather than a plain circle, the edge is built from twelve kite-shaped panels, each holding a pair of small circles, giving the outline a scalloped shape.

The line stays thin and even throughout, though detail shifts sharply from ring to ring: the large petals give wide, easy surfaces, while the triangle band and the paired circles on the outer panels need a steady, fine point. This printable mandala suits someone who has coloured a page before rather than a first attempt; plan on roughly forty-five minutes from center to the last panel.

Fine markers or sharpened pencils work best on the small paired circles at the edge, the fussiest part of the page; start with the big central flower to warm up before tackling them. Printed on heavier stock, around 200 gsm A4, this mandala coloring page keeps fine lines crisp once the color goes down.
