The newly created sides of the towers will face the moon so we will give them a pale blue fill. The front of the church and the fronts of the towers, and the crosses face away from the moon and are in shadow. The shadow is always darkest next to the light side corner and gets lighter as it moves away.

Apply a 2-color Linear Fill using the colors shown to the sides facing us.

PASTE ATTRIBUTES: You can copy a fill (Ctrl - C) and then use it to fill the other front-facing sides. Select a side then press Shift - Ctrl -A, or select Paste Attributes from the Edit menu.

Create two rectangles to place behind the openings at the top of the bell towers. Apply a 2-color Elliptical Fill using the colors shown. Drag the center of the fill to the lower left. Send the rectangle to the back of the towers or bring the towers in front of the rectangles (Ctrl F as in Front).

Group the door and small window (Ctrl - G ). Apply a 2-color Circular Fill. Move the center of the fill to the the lower right side of the door so the light source appears to come from within.

Ungroup the door and small window (Ctrl - U ). (The fill remains unchanged unlike other applications I could, but won't mention).

Flop a duplicate of the door downwards and skew it to the left to create a shape filled with light spilling out from the open door.
