Art Nouveau Mandala #26 - Free Coloring Page

A tiny six-pointed star rosette sits at the very centre of this drawing. It is wrapped in a ring of small hearts, tips pointing outward, that together form a six-petalled flower. Beyond that ring runs a wide band of curling acanthus leaves and scrolls, interlacing in long crossing curves in a clear Art Nouveau spirit. The outer edge is not a plain circle: it closes with a row of pointed leaves and slender buds, giving the whole shape six points, a genuine star mandala.

The linework stays fine and dense through the central ring, where hearts and scrolls overlap tightly and call for a steady hand — this mandala coloring page is not one for an impatient beginner. The outer leaves open into broader, calmer spaces. It suits colourists already used to detail, teens or adults, and takes more than one sitting to finish.

Start at the central rosette and hearts before working outward ring by ring toward the easier border leaves. A sharpened coloured pencil or a fine-liner handles the tight scrollwork better than a broad marker, which would flood the smallest curls. This printable mandala shows its detail best on A4 paper at 160-200gsm, heavy enough to take marker without bleeding through.
