Spring Mandala #17 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala, an empty circle is ringed by a rosette of small rounded petals, like the heart of a daisy. A large eight-petaled flower with double-lined edges spreads outward from it, framed by scrolling vines, small five-petal flowers and buds, all held inside a scalloped octagon. Beyond that frame, floral sprays fill the corners and lead into a continuous garland running around the disc, closed off by a clean double-line circle.

The linework stays fine throughout, but the density shifts: the scrollwork, small flowers and outer garland pack in tiny shapes, while the eight large central petals leave wide, clean areas for shading. This mandala coloring page rewards patience and suits colorists who already enjoy detailed work; expect two to four hours to complete it.

Save fine liners or colored pencils for the scrollwork and outer garland, the most delicate part of the drawing, so ink doesn't bleed into neighboring flowers; the eight central petals, being larger, take markers well and make a good starting point. As a printable mandala, print it at A4 or A3 on paper of at least 200 gsm to handle both pencils and markers.
