DAVID TANNER 1975 Richmond, VA, US 2

My name is David Tanner and I’m a representational oil painter. I live and work in Richmond, Virginia. My first love as a painter is depicting the human figure, but I also enjoy plein-air landscape painting and still-life. Here's a video with an overview of my process. Background & Training: As a kid, I loved drawing and painting, and thankfully had encouraging parents. When it came time for college, there was no question that I would study art, although what kind of art wasn’t so clear. I had never met anyone who actually made a living as an artist. So, I studied commercial illustration at Virginia Commonwealth University because it seemed like a financially viable career choice in the arts, and got my BFA degree in 1991. After graduating and getting some experience, however, I realized my heart wasn’t in commercial illustration. I wanted to be a traditional painter creating work for galleries, rather than creating ads for corporations.
