| David Tanner is a realist oil painter based in Richmond, Virginia. Since receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1991, his study of traditional painting technique includes workshops with modern masters Nelson Shanks in Philadelphia and Robert Liberace in Washington DC.

After more than a decade of oil portraiture, Tanner has been focusing on plein-air painting, or painting the landscape in the open air, since 2005. Frequent traveling has provided rich opportunities for capturing the light and color of locations in Europe and North and South America. Scenes found closer to home in Virginia have proved inspiring as well.

David Tanner teaches oil painting at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Studio School, and the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, where he was elected Master Teacher in 2006. In Richmond his work is displayed at Crossroads Art Center and Suitable For Framing/Gallery 5800. Whether painting traditional oil portraits, landscapes, still-life subjects, or figurative work, Tanner upholds the fine traditions of representational painters both past and present.
