Join Chris Duffett for an immersive retreat soaked with prophetic art seeking to hear from God and interpreting what you hear into paintings. Learn how to paint ‘live’ at worship events and bring pictures, symbols and words from God’s heart to those around you. This is a practical retreat with an emphasis on practicing and producing paintings. Please do bring painting materials and essentially an easel with you. Canvases will be provided.
