What is Bold Brushwork SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by vivid, highly saturated colors, primarily intense reds and oranges, contrasted sharply with dark accents. The defining characteristic is the heavy, expressive texture simulating thick paint application or impasto, creating a dynamic and visually rich surface. When using this as a style parameter in Midjourney, it lends an immediate emotional intensity and tactile quality to any subject. Crafting the right prompt is key to controlling the balance between detail and abstraction in this highly energetic artistic approach.

  • A desolate Martian canyon landscape at sunset, using thick, expressive, choppy brushstrokes, deep red and burnt orange colors, strong tonal contrast
  • A still life composition of exotic fruits and dark antique silver, rendered in a vibrant, layered Bold Brushwork technique, high saturation

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.
