Spring Mandala #16 - Free Coloring Page

At the center a tiny dot sits inside a ring of eight almond-shaped petals, then an eight-lobed flower with small spirals at the base of each lobe. A ring of scroll-tipped hearts alternates with pointed petals over a finely stippled ground, followed by closed tulip-like petals leading to a solid double circle that separates the core from its border - triangles, narrow bars, and a final ring of curling scrolls and dotted seed-pods with an irregular outer edge.

The line stays thin throughout, but the open spaces shift in size: wide across the tulip petals and hearts, tiny within the stippled band and the scrollwork. This mandala coloring page suits someone already used to busy patterns rather than a first-timer, and takes roughly two to four hours depending on how much care goes into the small details.

Starting with the tulip petals and scroll hearts sets a palette before tackling the stippled band and the scrolls, the finest parts of the drawing, where a fine-tip pen or pencil keeps the dots from blurring together. For this printable mandala, heavy paper (200-250 gsm) at A3 size makes the small seed-pods and border scrolls far easier to isolate than a tighter A4 sheet.
