Thomas Kinkade, the artist of light uses briliant delicat colors in his oil paintings, he creates affects of light and shadow by working with thin layers upon thin layers of the gislin style painting.

Maybe you should ask one of his assistants, or maybe they're no longer assistants, just factory workers in China who paint it.

Not a fan of the Kincade Kopy Studio, and his assistants probably do all the work anyhow, but luminous effects are achieved by making a grisaille- which is a black and white underpainting (sometimes with a greenish tone- verdaccio) and by glazing color over the values in transparent layers.
