To highlight the unique advantages and features of the style, we have carefully crafted custom prompts for each sref. By using these prompts, you can perfectly replicate the sref's effects.

Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of traditional Chinese ink wash painting and contemporary illustration design. It draws from the brushwork aesthetics and negative space philosophy of Eastern traditional painting, while incorporating modern illustration's color usage and lifestyle representation. The style also carries the refined temperament of literati painting, evident through calligraphic inscriptions and seal stamp elements that reflect deep cultural heritage.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of this style is its perfect balance between classical and contemporary elements. The artwork uses warm beige backgrounds that create an ancient, elegant atmosphere; brushstrokes possess both the flowing spontaneity of traditional ink painting and the precise delicacy of modern illustration. The color palette is restrained yet harmonious, primarily using warm tones with occasional vibrant red and green accents. Most impressive is its rich sense of daily life - applying traditional artistic language to modern everyday scenes, maintaining the poetic quality of Eastern aesthetics while staying emotionally relevant to contemporary viewers.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • "Meticulous brushwork": Enhances the refinement and detail expression of the artwork, making pieces more collectible
  • "Jade-like warmth": Strengthens the soft texture of colors, creating a more elegant visual atmosphere
  • "Poetic imagery": Adding this element elevates the literary quality and artistic conception, enhancing emotional impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for cultural creative product design, decorative paintings for Chinese restaurants or tea houses, festival-themed illustrations, lifestyle book covers, and brand visual design with Eastern cultural backgrounds. It's also perfect for creating nostalgic calendar illustrations or postcard designs.

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 )
