Spring Mandala #5 - Free Coloring Page

The central motif is a sixteen-petal flower arranged in two layers, each tip marked with a small dot, set inside a plain circle. The first band around it alternates four flame-shaped points, coiled spirals and fine radiating lines. The outer band adds four butterflies with lace-patterned wings, small five-petal blossoms like cherry flowers, leaves and more fine hatching near the rim. The whole design closes on a clean double circle, with no beads or scalloping.

Linework stays thin throughout, though the central petals still form large, easy-to-isolate areas. The spirals, butterflies and small blossoms in the outer ring call for a fine brush or a 0.3 tip pen. This mandala coloring page suits someone already comfortable with detail work; expect two to three hours to work from the center out to the edge.

Start with the large central petals to set your base tones, then move outward, saving the finest radiating hatching for last with your narrowest pen tip. For a printable mandala that keeps its detail crisp, print at A4 or a 21 x 21 cm square on paper of at least 200 gsm, heavy enough to hold markers without bleed-through.
