Art Style Type

This SREF style blends watercolor artistry with detailed line work that has a collage-like quality. It presents an aesthetic between traditional watercolor and modern illustration, with a distinct hand-painted feel and intricate linear detailing. The style evokes a fusion of vintage illustration books and contemporary concept art, combining the natural flow of traditional watercolor with the structured characteristics of modern detailed illustration.

Style Characteristics

The most striking characteristics of this style are the harmonious color palette of browns, blues, and oranges, alongside a distinctive "cracked" or "fractured" textured background. The images display a unique layered quality, as if painted on aged parchment, where natural paint bleeding is contained by precise line work. This style is impressive because it balances exact linear detail with the natural fluidity of watercolor, creating a visual effect that is both dreamy and concrete.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor bleeding: Enhances natural transitions between colors and transparency, giving the image more fluidity and organic feel
  • Crinkled texture: Reinforces the aged quality and historical depth of the work, as if created on ancient parchment
  • Fine line detailing: Adding this element improves precision and detail representation, enhancing the structural integrity of figures and scenes

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy novel illustrations, indie game character design, storybook illustrations, art posters for cafes or bookstores, and any visual scenarios requiring warmth and nostalgia without sacrificing fine details. It's also excellent for depicting natural themes, character portraits, or subjects with a historical feel.

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
