What is Bold Abstraction SREF style

This style is characterized by bold, opaque color blocking executed with visible, expressive brushstrokes reminiscent of thick gouache or acrylic paint. It merges simplified organic and geometric shapes to form compositions, whether abstract still lifes or stylized portraits. The color palette is typically vibrant, utilizing deep blues and warm accents against large areas of solid color, often set against a stark white background. When generating art using **Midjourney**, incorporating terms like "thick paint texture" or "contemporary illustrative flat planes" helps capture this distinct **prompt** aesthetic, resulting in graphic yet tactile imagery.

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?
