What is Ink Wash SREF style

This visual approach is defined by its striking monochrome palette and fluid execution, heavily utilizing the diffusion and bleeding characteristics of ink applied with water. Noticeable features include dramatic high contrast, intentional ink splatters, and soft, smoky transitions where forms appear to dissolve. This powerful aesthetic is excellent for capturing moody depth. To recreate this look in Midjourney, incorporating terms like "ink wash," "monochrome," and "splatter" into your prompt is crucial. This style excels at rendering expressive portraits and atmospheric landscapes with a refined yet raw 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)?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.
