Glow effect in impasto by Richard Bisschop

Here the artist uses less glow effect by adding medium tones, but notice how the windows at the top aren’t surrounded by hard straight lines. The texture of the paint makes the light blue spill into the dark a little, making them sparkle. Smooth perfect lines would have killed the sparkle. See it?
