Geometric Mandala With Intricate Lattice Grid Pattern Coloring Page

A twelve point star sets the outline here, and the ring just inside it carries twelve long pointed cells, each filled with a lattice of fine diagonal hatching. Between them, at regular intervals around the ring, sit small solid black arrowheads that give the design its rhythm. The middle of the mandala is considerably denser, a tight burst of narrow chevrons and petals packing down to a small open circle at the very center. Beyond the star, filling the corners and running off all four edges of the page, lies a much paler field of scrollwork drawn in a lighter line. Work from the outside in on this one. The pale corner scrollwork wants a wash or nothing at all, the twelve lattice cells are the real subject and reward two contrasting colors alternated around the ring, and the dense middle is best left until you have settled everything else. The center is fine enough that a heavy hand will close it up, so if you are unsure, leaving the innermost rings white is a legitimate finish rather than an unfinished one.
