Claude Monet did not receive a formal artistic education but learned informally from other artists. As a teenager he studied drawing with a local artist. Later, Monet was befriended by Eugène Boudin, who introduced him to painting in the open air. To his family’s annoyance, Monet refused to enroll in the renowned École des Beaux-Arts.
