Deberitz was born in Drøbak, Norway. When he was two years old, Deberitz's family moved to the village of Borre in Horten, Vestfold, where he grew up. The famed painter Edvard Munch, who had rented lodgings with the family during the summers of 1885 and 1886, lent painting materials to the boy and encouraged his artistic efforts.
From 1898 to 1899 Deberitz was a pupil at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Kristiania. In the summers of 1899 and 1900, he also had lessons from the romanticist painter Hans Gude at the latter's “Sølvkronen” villa in Horten. During the winters of 1903–1904 and 1906–1907 he was at Artists Studio School in Copenhagen.
