What is Impasto Block SREF style

This **style** is defined by its heavy reliance on opaque, vibrant pigments and prominent, broad brushstrokes, closely mimicking the texture and saturation achievable with Gouache or thick acrylic paint. It rejects smooth blending in favor of defined blocks of color to construct form, lending an energetic and decorative quality to the subject matter. To effectively leverage this aesthetic in **Midjourney**, ensure your **prompt** explicitly calls out the visible brushwork and high color intensity for compelling visual impact.

Impasto Block Prompt Ideas

  • A solitary lighthouse on a cliff edge during sunset, highly expressive color blocking, modern fauvism style, thick acrylic texture
  • Close-up portrait of an astronaut helmet reflecting a nebula, using only highly saturated, contrasting blocks of color, illustration style
  • A bowl of citrus fruits on a marble table, dynamic composition, vibrant yellows and oranges dominate, style of thick, painterly strokes

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.
