Sun and Leaf Crown Mandala Coloring Page

About this page

This detailed mandala is built around a bright empty sun circle and a ring of narrow flame-like rays. A dotted bead band separates the sun from pointed petal cells, then looping arches and leaf-shaped panels overlap through the middle. The outer edge is especially full: closely packed veined leaves form a complete leafy crown around the circle. The mix of open ray shapes and fine leaf texture gives you a clear place to change colors as you move outward. Start with yellow and orange in the sun and its flame-like rays. Use a calm blue in the bead band, then bring in two purples for the pointed cells and looping arches. Color the outer leaf crown with two greens, letting the inner veins stay lighter. This page suits a focused afternoon project or a finished sun-and-leaf illustration for a journal cover.
