Sun Mandala Coloring Page

About this mandala coloring page

A warm, radiant design with eighteen-fold symmetry. The core is a set of rings ringed by eighteen small dots, like a sun disc. Wide petals with inner outlines spread from it, then a fine wavy band and a crown of thirty-six long, veined rays that fill most of the outer circle. The page has 139 regions, mostly long and narrow, which makes it satisfying to color in flowing strokes. The rays give it a strong sense of movement, so even a simple two-color scheme looks lively. It is a cheerful choice for a gray day and a good way to try the gradient tool, since long rays show a gradient fade especially well.

Coloring tips

Use the gradient fill on the long rays, going from yellow at the inner end to orange or red at the tip, and the sun will seem to blaze. Keep the center disc the lightest part of the page. If you want a sunset version, shift the outer rays toward pink and purple and color the corner fans a dusky blue.
