After attending the Terrill Preparatory School for Boys in Dallas, he enrolled at Southern Methodist University, earning degrees in English and Journalism, as well as General Literature. His artistic journey took him to Europe to study art and later to Mexico, where he met Diego Rivera and learned that art must be a reflection of life to be significant. After studying at the Art Students League in New York City under John Sloan, Bywaters returned to the Southwest to pursue a professional career in art.

He was a prominent figure in the movement known as Lone Star Regionalism and was a founding member of the Lone Star Printmakers.

Beyond his studio practice, he served as a faculty member at Southern Methodist University for forty years and acted as the art director for the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts.
