Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Impressionism and Pointillism's delicate brushwork with the rustic quality of folk art and the emotional intensity of Neo-expressionism. The images appear constructed from small dots or blocks of color, creating a dreamlike yet textured effect. This style reminds one of the vibrant colors and swirling brushstrokes found in Van Gogh's later works, but with the precision of modern digital art.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent characteristics of this style are its rich texture and vivid color contrasts. The images are filled with small, dot-like brushstrokes that create a granular, painterly quality. Colors are highly saturated, with oranges, golds, and blues forming strong complementary contrasts. Each scene features a warm glow that gives the images a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere. Backgrounds often display swirling or radiating brushstrokes that enhance the dynamic and dramatic quality of the compositions.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Impasto texture: Enhances the three-dimensionality and material quality of the image, making colors richer and more full-bodied
  • Golden hour lighting: Strengthens the warm color palette and dramatic lighting effects, making the subject stand out more prominently
  • Dreamlike surrealism: Amplifies the mysterious feeling and imaginative quality, creating a more fantastical visual experience

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, fantasy-themed posters, nature and wildlife art, emotional storytelling illustrations, music album cover designs, and brand visual identities that need to evoke a warm, dreamy atmosphere. It's also excellent for environmental-themed artwork that expresses the harmonious relationship between nature and living creatures.

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
