What is Impasto SREF style

This visual style is defined by Impasto, characterized by extremely thick applications of paint, creating a rich, three-dimensional texture visible through heavy brushstrokes or palette knife work. The surfaces appear tactile, often capturing light dramatically and giving figures and scenes a raw, energetic quality. When prompting for this style in Midjourney, users should focus on descriptive textural language to achieve this painterly depth. The resulting prompt outcomes are richly textured artworks that bridge the gap between painting and sculpture, making light and shadow dynamic elements of the composition.

Impasto Prompt Ideas

  • Portrait of a woman with fiery red hair, extreme impasto texture, palette knife painting
  • A moody cityscape street scene at night, heavy oil paint texture, rich impasto technique
  • Still life of citrus fruits in a ceramic bowl, thick textured brushstrokes, vibrant colors, fine art painting
  • A lone cypress tree in a vibrant field at sunset, thick paint texture, expressive impasto

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.
