Spring Mandala #6 - Free Coloring Page

At the centre, a small double spiral coils inside a disc ringed with wavy sun-like rays. Around it, a band alternates four almond shapes each holding a small circle, dotted teardrop pairs, and small five-petal flowers set against sprigs of foliage. A circle closes this medallion before an eight-point star spreads outward, its triangular points and corner spaces packed with dense scrollwork of vines and flowers. A fine double circle closes the whole design at the outer edge.

The line stays fine and even throughout, but the dotted texture on the teardrops and the crowded flowers in the star's corners call for a sharp point. The sun rays at the centre and the star's arms give wide, simple areas to fill, while the outer foliage breaks into many small, tight cells. This mandala coloring page suits someone with steady hands and some practice; plan on two to three hours to finish the whole circle.

A fine liner or a sharpened pencil works better than a broad marker for the dotted teardrops and the small flowers packed into the star's corners, the most delicate parts of the piece; starting with the central medallion before moving out to the star helps the hand warm up. For this printable mandala, A4 on heavy paper, at least 200 gsm, keeps markers from bleeding through the finest lines.
