What is Vivid Gesture SREF style

This visual style is defined by its raw energy, utilizing loose, gestural lines combined with bold, layered color application that emphasizes the artistic process. Subjects, whether portraits or still life, retain clarity while being filtered through an expressive, almost naive lens. To achieve this look effectively in Midjourney, your prompt must specify visible texture, expressive mark-making, and a curated, vibrant palette of blues and pastels. Mastering this approach allows for the creation of striking, immediate imagery that feels both modern and intimately hand-crafted.

Vivid Gesture Prompt Ideas

  • Portrait of a melancholic young woman, highly expressive drawing style, bold blue and pink outline, visible texture, vibrant palette
  • Still life of ceramics and potted plants, layered expressive drawing, loose strokes, mint green and indigo accents
  • Abstract composition using only wavy lines and color blocks, energetic mark-making, vibrant pastel and deep blue tones, painterly illustration
  • Close-up of an astronaut helmet, reflective surface rendered with energetic scribbles, highly detailed texture, expressionistic rendering

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.
