Summer Mandala #9 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala, a small solid circle sends out long pointed rays like a sun, ringed by eight tiny stars alternating with crescent moons inside a first circle. A wide band follows, where four large shell-shaped fan motifs alternate with fern fronds and small round clusters. The whole edge closes with a tight chain of pointed oval shapes, then a plain circular line with no beading or cut edge.

The line stays fine throughout, though the open spaces vary: the stars and crescents at the center are tiny, while the fans and fronds in the middle band give larger, easier areas to fill. The outer chain returns to a tight, repetitive rhythm. This mandala coloring page suits someone with steady coloring experience already; plan on two to three hours to reach the outer edge.

A fine-tip pen or a sharp pencil keeps the tiny stars and crescents at the center clean, while broader markers work well on the shell fans and fronds. Start at the center before your hand tires on the outer chain, the most delicate part of the drawing. For this printable mandala, print on at least 200gsm paper in A4 or letter size to keep markers from bleeding through.
