The training has been preserved from one generation to the next within an institution which has changed remarkably little over the last 250 years. Additional teaching series with Iliya Mirochnik for New Masters Academy will be added to include painting videos and is anticipated to be over 40 hours of online instructionIliya Mirochnik
