How do I draw a perfect circle on a wall?

There are two easy ways to create a perfect circle.

Option 1: For small to medium circles, simply trace around a round object, such as a plate, bowl, or coaster.

Option 2: For larger circles, use the string-and-pivot method: secure a small nail at the centre point, attach a string and pencil (or brush), keep the string taut, and rotate around the centre to draw a precise circle, even on large walls or canvases.

For perfectly crisp painted edges, use curved painter's tape. After drawing your circle, apply the tape along the outline, seal the edge with Amsterdam Acrylic Medium Matte 117, paint the circle, and remove the tape while the paint is still wet.
