What is Starry Night SREF style

This aesthetic directly channels the expressive intensity of Post-Impressionist masters, most notably Van Gogh's iconic works. It is defined by heavy, directional, and swirling brushstrokes, known as impasto, which create immense visual movement and texture across the composition. The color scheme typically leans heavily on deep blues, indigos, and vivid contrasts from yellow or white light sources. Incorporating this into a **Midjourney prompt** allows users to generate highly emotional and energetic visuals where the application of paint itself becomes the subject. To master this **style**, focus your **prompt** on texture and kinetic energy.

Starry Night Prompt Ideas

  • A crowded futuristic marketplace at night, rendered in thick, swirling blue and yellow brushstrokes, Starry Night technique
  • Close-up portrait of a mysterious woman with severe lighting, depicted with heavy, visible impasto texture and deep shadows
  • Still life of antique navigational tools on a stormy sea background, highly painterly and textured, Starry Night effect
  • An epic fantasy dragon soaring above glacial peaks, painted with dramatic, circular motion lines and a dominant indigo palette

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.
