Claude Monet began his artistic training with his mentor Eugene Boudin when he was 16. Boudin was one of the first French landscape painters to start painting outdoors. Boudin taught Monet to paint some of his first landscapes, and the two formed a close bond.(triada.bg). After a few years, Monet left for Paris and studied at the Atelier Suisse, where he met Pissarro, who painted in a similar style. This helped to further Monet's education in impressionist style painting(Pioch, Nicolas). After his Aunt got him out of more military service, Monet moved home to Le Havre and joined a studio owned by Charles Gleyre. At the studio he met Frederic Bazille, Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley. This group helped to develop the style of impressionism by changing the way normal objects are painted, and by working out in the nature to try to capture it's beauty(triada.bg).
