What is Ink Wash SREF style

This style, known as Ink Wash Painting, utilizes expressive, fluid brushwork achieved primarily with black ink and subtle color accents on a white ground. It emphasizes capturing the spirit and essence of the subject—be it dramatic landscapes, elegant portraits, or simple still life—rather than precise realism. In **Midjourney**, incorporating this **style** into your **prompt** results in images that balance spontaneity with controlled washes, often employing high contrast between dark ink masses and expansive negative space for a distinct, atmospheric, and traditional East Asian aesthetic.

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.
