Igor V. Babailov's 16-year long formal fine art education (1974 -1990), rooted in the curriculum of Russian-European traditional school of art, especially contributed to his unparalleled skill in academic drawing (or drawing from life) which today is a fundamental challenge for many painters.

Through his fine art academic education within the studios of the historic Russian Academy of Arts (est.1757), Igor Babailov belongs to the direct 'Teacher-Student' Lineage of world-famous Master artists, Repin and Serov.
