What is Velvet Grain SREF style

This artistic style is characterized by a soft, delicate application of color, creating a highly textured, almost hazy effect across the subject matter, whether depicting landscapes or portraits. The unified, muted palette, dominated here by soft greens, evokes a serene, gentle, and introspective atmosphere. To achieve this distinct look in **Midjourney**, your **prompt** should emphasize texture, soft focus, and harmonic color restrictions. This **style** leans away from sharp realism toward expressive, layered rendering, reminiscent of fine illustration techniques achieved through layered chalk or dry brushwork.

Velvet Grain Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of a young woman looking out a rain-streaked window, painterly texture, subtle expression, moody atmosphere
  • Still life of stacked ceramic bowls and translucent glassware on a wooden table, highly painterly technique emphasizing surface texture, muted color scheme
  • Vast rolling hills under a pale sky, executed with visible, short, textured brushstrokes, conveying immense calm, painterly style

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.
