What is Impasto SREF style

This visual showcases the heavy Impasto technique, characterized by thick, visible applications of paint that create significant texture and dimension on the surface. The application is expressive, moving away from smooth representation towards tactile surfaces, as seen in the clouds and floral arrangements. When aiming for this aesthetic in Midjourney, incorporating terms like 'thick oil paint texture' or 'palette knife application' into your prompt is crucial. This distinctive style renders subjects—whether landscapes or portraits—with a rich, almost sculptural physicality, adding depth and emotional weight to the final image.

  • Still life of antique silver teapot and white roses on a wooden table, extreme impasto, visible brushstrokes, detailed texture

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.
