Leaf Mandala Coloring Page

About this mandala coloring page

Foliage replaces petals in this botanical mandala. Three rings of pointed leaves, ten, then twenty, then forty, grow outward from a small flower at the center, separated by a band of dots and a ring of scalloped arches. The leaves get smaller toward the edge, so the eye travels outward naturally. There are 213 regions arranged in tenfold symmetry, a medium-level page that takes around an hour. It works through the seasons: fresh greens for spring, copper and gold for autumn. The leaf shapes are long and smooth, which makes them especially pleasant to fill with the gradient tool for a subtle sunlit effect.

Coloring tips

Let the leaves change color as they move outward, from fresh green in the inner ring through olive to gold on the outer edge, like a tree turning in autumn. Keep the scallops a quiet neutral so the foliage stays in focus. A soft cream background in the corner fans makes the greens look especially rich.
