Prince Fielder - 1B - Milwaukee Brewers - cincysportsart.com by Jason Yoder

			This is another watercolor project, that will along hand-and-hand with the Rickie Weeks watercolor. This one, features Milwaukee Brewer top prospect, Prince Fielder -- yes, son of former Major League slugger, Cecil Fielder. This is in the early stages, as you can see the pre-paint drawing taking place -- drawing details to make later painting much easier. I started basically with the essential outline and shapes of the subject, then moved on to finer details, such as the "Brewers" logo on his jersey, and the "M" on his hat, etc.
			With these pictures, you can see the latest work "in-progress". I've started added some of the background coloring and shading to the right side of the painting, and have also started working on Fielder's left arm, left hand, and the end of the bat. In the photo, at right, you can see some of the detail I've already put into some of the shading and coloring on Prince's left hand/arm.
			I've started to add some darker blue to his jersey and hat, to add some depth to the painting. As I'm sure you can also tell, I've started to add some detail to his face.
			Here, things have really started to "take shape" in terms of all the details involved with shading and coloring Prince's face. I still need to add the final pieces of shading and highlights to his nose and right-side of his face, but the details are really starting to show through, and I'm confident this piece will end up being my best watercolor work so far.
			As you can tell, finally, an update! Sorry for the delays -- I've been terribly busy trying to finish up all the details with the Ian Stewart posters. As I had hoped, I've finally finished this painting. At left, and below left, you can see the final 2 photos taken of the painting -- featuring the finished product. Enjoy!
