What techniques and identifiers did Monet use when creating his work? Why is the presence of his signature important

When creating his work, Monet used various techniques such as creative composition, blocking in areas of the canvas, paint handling, and brushwork. The presence of his signature is important because it signaled that the piece was complete, despite the tendencies of Monet's works to appear unfinished.

In spite of using rapid brush strokes, which are a key feature of his works, Monet planned his compositions very carefully, always with the goal of capturing the effect of light at different times of the day and on various surfaces. His palette was limited to nine tones, and he painted on white or light canvases with colors that he used directly out of the tube - sometimes mixing them on the canvas. He painted series of the same subject or scene (a bridge, a cathedral, a pond) at different times of the day or under different weather conditions in order to experiment with the passing of time and the variations in light and color.

The presence of his signature is important because his style has been widely imitated and works by his hand are worth a very significant amount of prestige and monetary value.
