Later he studied with his maternal grandfather, a local icon painter named Ivan Babin.

From 1858 to 1865, he was enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Arts, where his most influential instructor was Sokrat Vorobiev, a landscape painter who had spent many years in Italy.

He graduated as an "Artist, 3rd Degree" and worked as a teacher in Ludza; then part of the Vilna Governorate.

During the Russo-Turkish War, he painted with Russian troops in the Balkans and, on his return, created a panorama of the bombardment of the fortress at Ruse.
