Drawing Portraits in Duisburg: The Library Becomes an Artist's Studio

On Wednesday, November 18, 2026, the Neumühl district library will be transformed into a small artist's studio. Young people between the ages of ten and 14 will discover the art of quick and realistic portrait drawing during the workshop and experience creative hours in a calm library atmosphere.

From Accurate Observation to Finished Drawing

Under the guidance of Riswane Rowinsky, participants will go step by step from observing the model attentively to the first sketch and then to the completed portrait. The event is aimed at youth with and without prior knowledge and offers a practical introduction to proportions, line work, and facial representation.

Creative Break with Materials Provided

All necessary materials will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own drawing tools. This creates a focused yet open event atmosphere, where observation skills, imagination, and drawing experimentation are at the center.

Cultural Education for Youth

The workshop is funded by the Kulturrucksack NRW program. The Duisburg City Library thus combines cultural participation, creative education, and a straightforward approach to target groups for young people. The organization in the district library creates an accessible framework for a special event experience.

Conclusion: Be There with Pencil and Eye for Detail

The portrait workshop offers young people three hours of creative work, expert guidance, and the opportunity to create their own portrait. Those who want to try drawing and experience the library as an artist's studio will find the right place in Neumühl.
