Holly Tappen offers the Painting: Fun with Acrylic Painting classes with Minneapolis Community Ed. Adult Enrichment and Lifelong Learning 55+. She is an artist with a thriving practice in her studio at the California Building in Northeast Minneapolis. Her specialties include teaching basic and advanced painting methods from both historical and modern art. She takes class in Renaissance painting at the Art Academy, Inc. in Saint Paul every week, and from her mentor, David Feinberg, both for 20+ years. Feinberg's teacher's mentor was Pablo Picasso. Many of the master's techniques and motifs have been passed down to Holly, who is eager to share her knowledge with beginning and experienced artists. (And have fun!)
