Stress Relief Mandala #2 - Free Coloring Page

At the center sits a circle filled with curved waves, like layered dunes. It's ringed by small spiral scrolls, then a row of slim pointed shapes fanning out like rays. Next comes a ring of elongated leaves alternating with tiny five-petal flowers, followed by a wider band where hearts, faceted gem shapes and flowers connect through vine scrollwork. A last ring of paisley teardrops, marked by four hearts at the cardinal points, leads to the edge: a clean double circle, with no beads or cut trim, closing off the five concentric rings.

The line stays thin throughout, but the detail thickens noticeably in the leaf, flower and scroll rings, where the spaces are tiny; the central waves and the outer circle, by contrast, leave large areas that are easy to fill in. This printable mandala rewards patience and suits colorists who already have some experience, likely taking three to four hours across a few sessions.

Start with the central waves in fine liner, their parallel curves lend themselves well to gradients, before moving to the scrolls and small flowers, the tightest spots that call for a sharply pointed pencil. For this mandala coloring page, print at A4 on 200gsm paper, thick enough to stop marker bleed-through without blurring the finer lines.
