What is Impasto SREF style

This striking visual characteristic is best defined by **Impasto**, characterized by the heavy application of medium that leaves noticeable, tangible brushstrokes on the surface. When utilizing this **style** in **Midjourney**, the resulting images possess a remarkable tactile quality, often reminiscent of classic oil paintings, even when depicting modern subjects. This approach adds emotional weight and dimension, making the structure of the artwork itself a key feature rather than just a vehicle for the subject matter. A powerful **prompt** utilizing this term ensures rich, textured renderings.
