Tonight we go from over 2,500 people who entered the BP Portrait Award 2014 to three prizewinners - and just one person who wins the top award. This year the National Portrait Gallery which organises the exhibition has filmed the artists shortlisted for an award.
In a few minutes time I start getting reading to go to the Awards Ceremony at the National Portrait Gallery which is this evening.

Will Cadmium be banned in artists' paints in Europe?
The European Chemicals Agency is currently consulting on proposed restrictions - a virtual ban - on the use of Cadmium in artists' paints in Europe. Unless a case is made against the proposal Cadmium might be banned in artists paints and other art materials within a couple of years.

The Pastel Society - 115th Annual Exhibition
I got to see The Pastel Society's Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries briefly this week. It must be the first time I've not had this review up from the beginning - however it's still worth noting who won what, what the exhibition looked like and which pieces I liked! The artists are, of course around all year long even if their exhibition isn't and you can contact the Gallery if you're

Cochineal and Carmine
One of the really interesting parts of the Making Colour Exhibition at the National Gallery is a wall of clear boxes which contain the raw resources for the Lake colours used in painting.
If you've ever wondered what the raw materials look like this is very definitely an exhibition worth visiting!
Which brings me to Cochineal. This is an insect that produces a brilliant crimson red dye and was

RHS Exhibitions: Guidance and Regulations for submitting Botanical Art & Botanical Photography

Who made a mark in May 2014?
I'm still trying to develop a new way of doing "Who's made a mark". I'm now thinking along the lines of a once a month round-up complemented by more frequent posts of new things to look at via my Facebook Page. This seems to work better for me as it spaces out the effort involved.
That said I still need to work on timing - this was supposed to be published last Sunday - but I ran out of steam

The new BBC Arts Website
The BBC have a lot to do to do to up their game in terms of content and accessibility of the new BBC Arts website. Its aim is to enable much better access to both BBC Arts Programmes, additional material and the archive of programmes held by the BBC.

Winifred Nicholson at Dulwich Picture Gallery
The new exhibition at the Dulwich Art Gallery has an awfully long title Art and Life: Ben Nicholson, Winifred Nicholson, Christopher Wood, Alfred Wallis, William Staite Murray, 1920 – 1931. I'm not a fan of long titles - but that's by the by.
There's also a story to the exhibition - about how painters influence one another, but frankly the interest of that for me always lies in the impact of
