What is Expressive Brushwork SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by bold, visible brushstrokes and an airy, light color palette reminiscent of contemporary Impressionism. When using Midjourney, specifying this distinct style results in quick, energetic renderings where subjects and scenery are suggested through expressive color blocks rather than hyper-detailed realism. A successful prompt should prioritize texture and gestural paint application over fine lines, often yielding chic, modern portraits, vibrant landscapes, or luminous still lifes perfect for elevated digital art pieces.

Expressive Brushwork Prompt Ideas

  • A sophisticated woman posing outdoors, broad expressive brushwork, muted pastel palette, high key lighting
  • Vibrant Tuscan landscape at sunrise, thick impasto texture, thick visible brushstrokes, atmospheric light
  • Still life arrangement of citrus fruits and a ceramic vase, emphasis on color masses and chunky paint application, soft background
  • Fashion editorial portrait, bold strokes defining features, minimal background, warm cream and soft blue tones

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.
