Lotus Mandala #12 - Free Coloring Page

Rectangular compartments - around sixteen of them - form the widest band of this mandala, each holding a single upright petal like a ring of raised battlements, closed off by a clean double circle. Moving inward, a fine double line separates it from a crown of eight small lotus flowers alternating with coiled spirals. At the center, layered pointed petals surround a slim bud, framed by triangles and diamonds that form a star dotted with tiny swirls and dots.

Linework stays fine throughout the sheet, with the densest clusters of small dots and spirals packed around the central flower, while the outer petals open into broader, easier spaces. This mandala coloring page suits a patient teen or an adult who enjoys detail work; expect two to three hours to fill it from the center out to the bordered petals.

Keep a fine liner or a sharp colored pencil for the spirals and dots near the center, saving broader markers for the roomier outer petals once the delicate work is done. For this printable mandala, 200gsm drawing paper at A4 - or A3 for extra room - keeps ink from bleeding through.
