Open landscape: hills, lake, ruins or street, framed like a sketch; pale blue, grey-green, ochre yellow and paper white; backlit mist, sky brightening; transparent washes layered, pigment running on wet paper, paper white reserved for highlights; distance pushed back by thin colour. Avoid thick oil paint.
