What is Textured Impasto SREF style

This style is characterized by its distinct, tactile appearance, mimicking thick applications of paint like gouache or heavy acrylics layered onto a canvas texture. Images generated in this Midjourney aesthetic feature bold, simple shapes softened by visible, often directional brushstrokes, resulting in a charming, slightly rustic, yet contemporary feel. It excels at depicting cozy domestic scenes, simple portraits, and landscapes with an appealing handcrafted quality. When crafting a prompt, emphasizing the texture and the medium (e.g., "impasto details," "gouache texture") is crucial to achieving this distinctive, warm visual mood.

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.
