Following graduation, he opened a painting studio in Hanoi, which became known for the adequacy of its facilities and the beauty of its models. Nguyen Tuong Lan created many works using his wide-ranging proficiency in materials including oil paint, lacquer, silk, wood carving, pigments, and charcoal, but few of his works survive.[3]
