About
I'm Linh. I trained as a graphic designer in Hanoi, and then moved to Hội An and started teaching drawing at a long table by the river.
Most of my students say they cannot draw. By the second evening they are laughing at their own lanterns. The courses are the same lessons, filmed.
I drew a lantern in the first lesson and showed it to everyone I know.
