Lotus Mandala #3 - Free Coloring Page

At the centre of the mandala, a tiny six-pointed star surrounds a small white core, wrapped in a stylized lotus with pointed, doubled petals, some lined with fine parallel stripes. Five rings spread outward: a thin band of spirals and dots between the petal tips, a row of lotus buds on pointed arches, a band of wide, finely stippled fan shapes, a ring of large triangular petals, and an outer edge made not of a clean circle but of small rounded scallops following every point.

This mandala coloring page mixes generous spaces with tiny ones: the outer petals fill in quickly with a broad marker, while the ring of dots, spirals, and the striped petal centres call for a fine tip and patience. It suits an experienced colorist rather than a beginner, and covering the whole disc takes roughly two to four hours.

Start with the large outer petals in marker or colored pencil, then switch to a fine liner for the stippled band and the fine stripes at the centre, the trickiest parts of the drawing. Print this printable mandala on A4 paper of at least 200 gsm if using markers, so the ink doesn't bleed through.
