What is Impasto SREF style

This technique is defined by its heavy texture and visible, directional brushstrokes, creating a three-dimensional quality on the canvas reminiscent of thick oil paint application. The resulting images are vibrant, emotive, and highly tactile. When using this as a defining **style** reference in **Midjourney**, users command the AI to emphasize materiality and rich color contrasts. Crafting an effective **prompt** for this look requires focusing on the density of the paint and the dramatic interplay of light catching the impasto peaks, resulting in visually arresting and expressive compositions across various subjects.

Impasto Prompt Ideas

  • A sprawling alpine village nestled in a valley, dramatic snow-capped mountains, vibrant turquoise and gold swirling sky, heavy impasto brushwork
  • Portrait of an old scholar contemplating a glowing orb, thick layered oil paint texture, intense gaze, background filled with fantasy motifs, expressionistic color palette
  • Abundant still life of exotic fruits and white peonies on an antique draped table, deep shadows, visible heavy texture, rich jewel tones, viewed through an arched doorway
  • A majestic, textured dragon soaring over a vibrant, swirling cityscape, thick paint application, high saturation, emotional depth

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.
