美国写实画家Jacob Colins再来介绍一个美国画家， 写实的， 四十刚出头。 住new york, 在当地名气蛮大， 他创建了2个学校1) grand central academy of art .2) the water street atelier. 全是玩儿写实的。 我有幸看了他的画展， 在new york70街著名的Hirschl & Adler 画廊 ，感觉他的技术不是一般的好， 而是极好。堪称美国年轻写实画家中顶尖人物。 从来不用照片画， 完全写生， 他曾从师于 Ted Seth Jacobs。 Jacob Collins is a leading figure in the contemporary revival of classical painting. He earned a BA in history from Columbia College, attended the New York Studio School, the New York Academy of Art, and the Art Students League.
