What is Raw Affect SREF style

Neo-Expressionism captures raw emotion through aggressive mark-making, simplified figures, and vivid, often clashing colors. This **style** is characterized by a deliberately unrefined, energetic application, often mimicking oil sticks or thick paint, evoking the spontaneity of primitive or outsider art. When using this term in a **Midjourney prompt**, expect results with high texture, deep emotional resonance, and spontaneous composition. Mastering this **prompt** technique allows for generating high-impact visual narratives that reject polish for authenticity.

Raw Affect Prompt Ideas

  • Expressive portrait of an elder statesman, thick impasto texture, vibrant clashing colors, raw energy, Neo-Expressionism
  • Chaotic cityscape at dusk, overlaid with colorful scribbles and abstract forms, high contrast, style of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Anselm Kiefer
  • Still life of a lemon and a watering can, bright crayon and oil pastel textures on a white ground, childlike simplicity, expressive drawing
  • Vast landscape filled with tiny stick figures under a heavily marked sky, patches of saturated green and yellow field, painterly energy

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.
