Spring Mandala #18 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala, a many-petaled flower surrounds a small round core. Around it, a ring of elongated, tulip-like buds alternates with small round dots and four butterflies with patterned wings. A wider second ring combines small five-petal flowers, star-shaped leaf clusters, cloud-like blossom clusters, and four more butterflies. A thin band of pointed arch lattice leads to the border: a garland of branches with leaves and small berries, framed by a clean double circle.

The linework is fine and the design dense, especially in the garland and the small five-petal flowers, which multiply the tiny areas to fill. This mandala coloring page suits a hand already used to a fine liner or a sharpened pencil rather than a first attempt: expect several hours to work from the center to the border while keeping the symmetry consistent.

Start with the central flower and its wider buds before the butterflies and the berry garland, where the lines tighten. Colored pencils shade the small petals without bleeding past the lines, where a thick marker would saturate the drawing. For this printable mandala, use heavy paper (at least 200 gsm) in A4 or Letter size, leaving enough room for the border details.
