In 1851, Monet attended the Le Havre, where he took up drawing classes, as well as commerce. While in school, he would often find himself going outdoors, particularly the Le Havre port, Sainte-Adresse cliffs and the beach. He adored nature, and it was where he gained inspiration from his drawings and sketches.

Francais-Charles Ochard taught him the basics of drawing. He was a patient teacher, and he gained much respect from his students. In fact, it was this teacher who inspired Monet to draw for hours. Some of his sketches included boats, people, landscapes and even caricatures of his teachers. With his exceptional talent in drawing, he became quite popular in school and charged for his portraits that people bought from him. In addition, his caricatures were exhibited at Gravier's shop.
