P1
Claude Monet was one of the first artists to work outdoors. That may sound special1 to us today. But before 1870, most artists did all their paintings in rooms. They used models dressed up as Greek gods or heroes from history. They painted with dark colours, so that their pictures would look more serious2.
P2
However, Monet and his artist friends broke3 the rules. They took their paints and brushes to paint something about nature4 in the open air such as lakes, flowers and woods. They wanted to show how sunlight makes water and boats look at different5 times of the day. They always stayed outdoors and painted all day. If they painted people, they always painted common people. They used bright colours and painted quickly6. So they could paint many pictures in a day.
P3
For years, Monet had difficulty7 in making money. Sometimes he could not pay the rent, sometimes his family had no heat, and sometimes they went hungry. But Monet would not give up8. He tried to solve these problems one by one and kept painting.
