David Lobenberg California vibes

My “California Vibe Watercolor Portraiture” style is all about the natural human face captured with expressive, vivid colors and robust, assertive brush marks.

My creative process starts with a reference photo shot with an iPhone. The subject is always in a strong, outdoors lighting environment, or if inside, illuminated within a single, stage-like light source. Emotive facial expressions and/or eye-engaging shooting angles are always necessary. I print my chosen reference photograph in black and white so as not to be influenced by the original colors.
