Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of watercolor realism and expressionism. The images present realistic details through fluid watercolor techniques while preserving an emotionally expressive artistic interpretation. Rather than strict photorealism, this style allows colors and emotions to flow naturally throughout the composition while maintaining subject recognition and detail.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics include flowing watercolor effects, bright splashes of saturated color, detailed subject outlines contrasted with softer backgrounds. The natural bleeding of watercolors creates a dreamlike quality, while occasional color splatters and droplet effects add vibrancy. What makes this style impressive is how it maintains detail while allowing colors to flow naturally, creating images that are both realistic and emotionally expressive.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor Splatter: Adding more color splatter effects enhances the natural flow and artistic randomness of the composition
  • Cool-Warm Contrast: Strengthening the contrast between blue and orange-yellow tones makes subjects more prominent and creates emotional depth
  • Texture Rendering: Introducing more paper texture or brushstroke details enhances the hand-painted feel and artistic quality

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for high-quality publication illustrations, emotional storytelling, nature and wildlife themed works, literary book covers, and advertising that requires both artistic merit and realism. It excels at conveying emotion and narrative content while maintaining visual sophistication and appeal.

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
