Simple Mandala for Beginners #8 - Free Coloring Page

An empty circle sits at the very center of the mandala, left blank with no pattern inside. Around it unfold four rings of petals: the first, right against the center circle, gathers small narrow pointed petals each crossed by a thin center line; the second and third rings repeat wider petals with rounded tips, staggered from one ring to the next like the layers of an open flower; the fourth and outermost ring carries the largest petals, shaped like pointed teardrops, tracing the flower's outer edge. A blank margin separates this flower from the border, which closes with a thin double line followed by a bold black circle framing the page.

The outer circle is drawn in a heavy, bold line, while the petal outlines stay even and open up generous spaces that are easy to fill without crossing lines. That makes this printable mandala approachable for younger colorists, though the four stacked rings still call for some patience if each row is meant to get a different shade. Expect somewhere between thirty minutes and an hour to cover every petal, a little longer if the fine vein lines inside the innermost ring are colored with care.

Markers or colored pencils suit the broad petal surfaces well, while a fine-tip pencil works better for the narrow veins in the first ring. Starting at the center circle and working outward ring by ring keeps the repeating pattern easy to follow on this mandala coloring page. For printing, 200 gsm paper in A4 or US letter keeps marker ink from bleeding through.
