What is Balthus Midjourney Prompt

Balthus, a Polish-French modern artist, is celebrated for his enigmatic and classically-inspired figurative paintings. His work is characterized by a muted, earthy color palette, a sense of still tension, and often depicts adolescents in mysterious interior settings. When you use the Balthus **style** in a **Midjourney** **prompt**, it generates images with a distinctive painterly and textured quality, echoing the artist's unique blend of realism and surreal dreaminess. This approach is perfect for creating portraits and scenes filled with psychological depth, somber beauty, and an unsettling, timeless atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
