Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of watercolor illustration and whimsical illustrative art. The transparent quality of watercolor and color blending is quite evident, combined with the cute minimalist characteristics of modern illustration. It resembles a fusion of Japanese-style illustration and fairy tale art, with soft color transitions and delicate detail work giving it a unique artistic appeal.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of this style is the use of red as a theme color, creating a dreamy and warm atmosphere through watercolor diffusion effects. Color transitions are exceptionally soft, with lightweight contour lines that avoid rigidity, giving the overall imagery a "floating" quality. Semi-transparent color layers create an exquisite texture, while subtle light spots and details add a touch of fantasy, filling the images with fairy tale-like warmth. What makes this style impressive is how it maintains the natural flowing beauty of watercolor while exercising precise control over details.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor Diffusion: Enhances the natural transitions between colors, increasing the fluidity and dreamy atmosphere of the image
  • Delicate Light Spots: Adding tiny white light spots can elevate the fantasy feel and depth perception of the artwork
  • Warm Color Palette: Emphasizing red and warm tones makes the imagery more emotionally resonant and visually appealing

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, holiday greeting cards, brand identity illustrations, children's product packaging, mobile app interface graphics, social media illustrative content, and any visual design scenario that needs to convey warmth, dreaminess, and a fairy tale sensibility.

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
