Tibetan Mandala #18 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala, an eight-petaled lotus flower with a double layer of petals surrounds a small circle, all enclosed by a fine line. A first ring, split into roughly sixteen compartments, holds small alternating figures, followed by a row of beads and a band of pointed, fleur-de-lis-like shapes turned alternately inward and outward. A second, wider ring of compartments repeats the same pattern before another row of beads. The outer band, the widest of all, combines large lotus petals, leafy scrollwork and small curled silhouettes, closing on a frieze of tight spirals just inside the double circular line that forms the edge.

The line stays fine and even throughout, but the density shifts: the compartments near the center create small areas that call for a fine-tipped pen, while the outer petals and scrollwork leave more room to work with. This mandala coloring page suits colorists who enjoy detail and takes two to four hours to complete.

Start with the central compartments, the most delicate part, before moving out to the wider petals with a broader marker or colored pencils. This printable mandala holds up well on A3 paper at 200gsm, thick enough to take repeated layers of color without bleeding through.
