What is Textural Build-up SREF style

Impasto Painting is a highly textural style characterized by applying paint (often oil or acrylic) so thickly that the brushstrokes are heavily visible and create physical relief on the canvas. This technique adds dimensionality and raw energy to the image, whether depicting landscapes, portraits, or still lifes. When using this in a Midjourney prompt, including terms like "thick texture," "heavy brushwork," or "palette knife" will achieve this rich, tactile effect, giving your output a unique, painterly style.

Textural Build-up Prompt Ideas

  • Coastal Mediterranean village at sunset, dramatic impasto landscape painting, thick application of yellows and deep reds, palette knife technique
  • A bowl of exotic fruit on a rustic table, expressive impasto style, vibrant color contrasts, diffused natural lighting
  • Neo-classical sculpture fragmented in a modern gallery, hyper-textured impasto rendering, deep shadows

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.
