What is Ink Wash Aesthetic SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by the fluid, atmospheric quality of traditional East Asian ink painting combined with modern watercolor techniques. Key features include misty landscapes, expressive bleeding colors, heavy use of negative space, and textured, aged paper backgrounds. When crafting a prompt for Midjourney to achieve this look, emphasizing techniques like *shui-mo* or *sumi-e* alongside watercolor washes is crucial. This evocative style lends itself well to moody portraits and serene natural scenes, producing results that feel simultaneously ancient and delicately modern.

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.
