Path to Fame
I always knew I wanted to be an artist. I attended the Le Harve secondary school of the arts, and made money selling charcoal sketches to locals. I also had drawing lessons from Jacques Francois Ochard, and Eugene Boudin (Rita, par. 7).

Using our time in Give rny to paint “series” – these are images depicting the same subject at different times of day, in different kinds of light. Water lilies are my favorite! with Eugene Boudin (Anderson, 75).
Eugene Boudin
Now that you’re living in Giver ny, and you’re finally rich enough to purchase a house, land, and orchards, what are you painting?
Claude Monet
Working on a new painting: Impression, Sunrise – it’s a scene of the harbor at sunrise. I’m feeling great about it and think it might be a real winner! – with Frederic Bazille (Gascoigne, 4).
Frederic Bazille
What are you painting now? Up to anything new?
Claude Monet
The new technique is working really well – using short brush strokes to capture the light looks great on canvas. They’re calling our style Impressionism – with Pieree-Auguste Renoir (Johnson, 2).
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
