Since 1997 teaching traditional methods of painting and drawing became a very important part of their lives. Teaching other people helps Natasha and Victor to verbalize their artistic concepts, to formulate their subconscious impulses in painting. In their Bethesda studio they teach small groups of dedicated students four times a week. These classes have a private atmosphere and remarkable results.
"These artists bring a long history of an art system deeply rooted in classical training and techniques. These roots owe their birth to Peter the Great, who envisioned a Russian Academy of Fine Arts early in the 18th century whose aim was to develop a distinct Russian identity via an unique combination of classical European and native Russian influences."

Natasha Mokina also teaches at the Corcoran College of Art and Design.
