What is Chinese Ink Wash SREF style

This style captures the essence of traditional East Asian ink wash painting, characterized by fluid, atmospheric brushwork and a restricted, often monochromatic blue and white color palette. It heavily utilizes negative space to convey depth, mist, and tranquility, often merging natural landscapes or portraits seamlessly into abstract textures. When using **Midjourney**, incorporating this **style** into your **prompt** results in images that feel both ancient and contemporary, evoking a serene, dreamlike quality perfect for decorative or ethereal compositions.

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.
