He would often draw caricatures in charcoal and sell them for a few francs on the street.
During his teenage years, his family left the city, heading to the coast to start a new life.
They settled in the port town of Le Havre on the coast of Normandy.
Monet continued to draw, and while there, he met another artist named Eugène Boudin.
Boudin saw that Monet had raw talent.
He took him under his wing, encouraging Monet to leave the charcoal drawings behind and focus on landscape painting.
He taught Monet the beauty of painting outdoors, en plein air.
According to Boudin, everything that is painted directly and on the spot always has strength, a power and a vivacity of touch one cannot recover in the studio.
Three strokes of the brush in front of nature are worth more than two days of work at the easel in the studio.
Even though the family had moved to the coast, Monet sometimes returned to the capital city to visit the Louvre Art Gallery.
There, he often saw painters copying the works of the old masters, something that they had been doing for years.
With Boudin's words in his mind, he would instead capture what he could see outside, real life, in real time.
Monet went on to study art in Paris, at the Académie Suisse, an informal art school, and then, in 1862, at the studio of an artist named Charles Aglaire.
Monet quickly became disillusioned with the way that art was being taught.
However, it was during these classes that he met Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Frédéric Bazille.
Together, the group began to explore new approaches to painting, taking their easels outside to different locations.
They used the effects of light to capture fleeting moments on canvas.
Their swift brushstrokes and use of bright, broken colors soon became synonymous with their style of work.
The artists were fortunate, for in previous decades, it would have been impossible for them to paint outdoors.
Traditionally, oil paint had been stored in pig's bladders, which were cumbersome to transport.
