美國寫實畫家Jacob Colins再來介紹一個美國畫家， 寫實的， 四十剛出頭。 住new york, 在當地名氣蠻大， 他創建了2個學校1) grand central academy of art .2) the water street atelier. 全是玩兒寫實的。 我有幸看了他的畫展， 在new york70街著名的Hirschl & Adler 畫廊 ，感覺他的技術不是一般的好， 而是極好。堪稱美國年輕寫實畫家中頂尖人物。 從來不用照片畫， 完全寫生， 他曾從師於 Ted Seth Jacobs。 Jacob Collins is a leading figure in the contemporary revival of classical painting.
