What is Watercolor SREF style

This visual style is defined by fluid, layered washes of color, creating soft transitions and an ethereal quality. Edges are often indistinct, allowing elements like the misty landscape, the expressive portrait, and the vibrant still life to organically merge. It captures the spontaneity of traditional water-based media, often featuring high contrast areas defined by dark, concentrated pigment against pale, washed-out backgrounds. When crafting a **Midjourney** **prompt** for this **style**, emphasizing terms like "wet-on-wet technique," "loose brushwork," and "color bleeding" yields highly atmospheric results, perfect for evocative fine art interpretations.

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?
