RI Open Drawing

RI Open Drawing Figure drawing course featuring live models. Meets 9am Saturdays | 26 Liberty Street | Newport This course is instructed by artist William Heydt. and M.F.A.

A Newport resident, Heydt has earned a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design and studied printmaking at Atelier 17 in Paris under Stanley William Hayter. Heydt’s work has been exhibited internationally in a constellation of galleries throughout the world and sits in the permanent collection of a number of prestigious Museums. William Heydt is known for painting the people and places he kno

ws and loves. His watercolors capture moments in bold brush strokes and vivid colors, chronicling the celebration of simple life whether the setting is seaside Rhode Island or the vibrant streets of Paris. Heydt’s vision reaches out to the viewer, as curator Gene Baro noted when he wrote, “we discover not so much a fresh sense of others as a sense of ourselves."
