Dave Mathews in Watercolor: A Commissioned Musical Caricature

Hand-painted with emotion and sound — one of three commissioned works

Watercolor caricature of Dave Mathews performing, illustrated by artist Leonardo
Dave Mathews captured mid-performance in watercolor — a vibrant blend of gesture, sound and stage presence.

This watercolor caricature of Dave Mathews was part of a special commission by a collector in Denmark. The piece is one of three vertical musical portraits — featuring Dave Mathews, Ludovico Einaudi, and Foy Vance — each captured in the midst of performance.

These original vertical works were reproduced as giclée prints, enlarged to double their size and professionally mounted for display. The horizontal pieces you see were also part of the exhibit, shown in their original format without copies.

You can view the creative process of this piece on my Instagram Leonardo_Rodriguez_Artist.

“Three vertical works, three musical souls — reimagined in large-format for a passionate collector.” 🎨 Commission Your Own Musical Portrait

Every piece is handcrafted and designed to capture the unique energy of its subject.
