Impressionism
Impressionism is a style of painting that began in France in the early 1860s when artists started painting pictures outside, rather than in their studios. This was called "en plein air" (which is French for open air.) They wanted to capture moments in time.  Because the light kept changing, they had to work very quickly, using quick brushstrokes of paint. This picture by another impressionist artist shows Claude Monet himself painting outside.
