Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Impressionism, Dreamy Realism, and Eastern ink painting. It presents a light, translucent quality, like a fusion of watercolor and light effects, while maintaining a poetic sense of mystery. Rather than pursuing precise realism, this style conveys emotion and atmosphere through soft edges and gentle color tones.

Style Characteristics

The most striking characteristic of this style is the semi-transparent luminous effect, as if all objects emit an inner glow. Colors tend toward soft whites, pinks, and blue tones, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The brushstrokes are gentle and ethereal with blurred edges, creating a sense of haziness. Small light points and starbursts are scattered throughout, adding mystery and an ethereal quality. The overall effect makes one feel as if they're in a world between reality and dreams, evoking feelings of tranquility and longing.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Ethereal Transparency: Enhances the semi-transparent effects in the work, making the image more weightless and airy, creating a feeling of being unbound by gravity
  • Dreamy Illumination: Amplifies the soft diffusion of light in the work, creating a more dreamlike, surreal atmosphere
  • Stardust Accents: Adds small points of light elements, giving the image a cosmic mysteriousness while enhancing the overall magical feel

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy novel covers, children's book illustrations, visual designs for meditation apps, poetry collection illustrations, music album covers, and any creation that needs to express dreams, imagination, and inner worlds. It's also excellent for romantic, mysterious game art, especially games that tell stories about journeys, discovery, and spiritual growth.

More Tips


You can explore further by combining the following command:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2
