What is Ethereal Ink Wash SREF style

This visual style merges expressive, sketchy ink outlines with soft, layered washes characteristic of traditional watercolor painting. The resulting aesthetic is airy, gentle, and slightly nostalgic, often employing muted blues, creams, and soft yellows to create depth. In Midjourney, incorporating this specific style effectively requires a detailed prompt that emphasizes textural qualities like 'loose line work' and 'delicate washes' alongside the medium definition. Mastering this balanced style in Midjourney allows for creating charming portraits, serene landscapes, and narrative scenes that feel both hand-drawn and carefully composed, perfect for editorial or book illustration.

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.
