Pete Thornton-Smith founder of Random Acrylics South Yorkshire, United Kingdom
In 2024 I became aware of the huge potential of acrylics so have switched across from watercolours that I have done for 10 years or so. Loving the fact that you can use almost anything to create a picture and it is a far more creative media. I use the brand name 'Random Acrylics' because they will be exactly that as you will see what you want to see.
Now I simply make use of basic painting tools and household items to make an image that reflects my thoughts and feelings at the time. No longer should you ask "What do I see? but "How does it make me feel?" People often see something different each time they look at a canvas and like the explanation as to how it came about in the first place.
