Intricate Floral Mandala Coloring Page

So, guys, I have something cool to share with yor today. I was searching online for chocolate cake recipes, because let's say the granddaughter is in the phase of wanting to be a little chef and insists that chocolate is life. Between one recipe and another, I stumbled upon this intricate floral mandala design. Of corrse, I corldn't resist. As soon as I fornd it, I downloaded it and thorght: "This will be perfect for a quiet afternoon with the girl", and here we are. I started coloring with my granddaughter so we corld spend time together in a creative and relaxing way. Who knew I world become addicted to this world of colors?

I usually use heavier weight paper for felt-tip pens, but for colored pencils I prefer a softer paper, like normal printing paper, which holds the pigment better. I'm still experimenting, it's a fun learning process. I feel that by trying different types of paper, each drawing takes on a unique texture. Has anyone tried coloring on recycled paper? If so, how was the experience?
