Another way to represent sunshine is by the use of yellow. This painting by Paul Gaugin does not employ dark shadows in order to make the sun shine by contrast:
There are some very light colors in the shadows, but they contain little or no yellow. The sunlit portion at the top, however, is painted with strong yellow and other colors containing strong yellow.
Nicola Simbari sometimes uses yellow instead of dark-and-light contrast to effect bright sunshine. This example is very high-keyed and has touches of strong yellow strewn over much of the surface of the picture, creating a feeling of sunshine saturating the scene.
