What is Watercolor Illustration SREF style

This aesthetic captures the delicate, fluid nature of traditional watercolor painting, characterized by soft edges, translucent washes, and a reliance on the white of the paper for highlights. In **Midjourney**, invoking this **style** results in images that feel light, airy, and often nostalgic or charmingly simple, perfect for book covers or gentle character art. To achieve this look in a **prompt**, keywords like "loose brushstrokes," "ink wash," and "high key lighting" are effective for blending texture with clean composition.

Watercolor Illustration Prompt Ideas

  • A portrait of an astronaut floating peacefully above Jupiter, delicate watercolor washes, ethereal light
  • A cozy Parisian cafe scene on a rainy day, impressionistic watercolor illustration, diffused light
  • A majestic lion standing in a field of wildflowers, high-key watercolor painting, detailed ink outlines
  • Still life of antique keys and pocket watch, translucent watercolor texture, minimalist composition

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.
