What is Expressive Brushwork SREF style
This style emphasizes visible, deliberate brushwork, lending a textural and handcrafted quality to the image, much like traditional oil paintings. In **Midjourney**, invoking this **style** results in images where form is defined by expressive strokes and structured color planes rather than ultra-fine detail. Using this in a **prompt** helps achieve a rich, tactile aesthetic suitable for portraits, landscapes, or still lifes, moving away from photorealism towards expressive art.
