Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Impressionism with modern illustration, incorporating qualities of Abstract Expressionism. The compositions retain recognizable subjects while presenting them in a semi-abstract manner through loose brushwork and color blocks. It belongs to these style categories because it balances precise depiction found in traditional painting with the emotional expression and brushwork freedom of modern art.

Style Characteristics

The most distinctive feature of this style is the balance between bold, expressive brushstrokes and finely detailed subject rendering. Backgrounds typically use neutral, soft color palettes to highlight the main subjects. The images intentionally preserve unfinished edges and paint flow marks, creating a deliberate "unfinished quality." What makes this style impressive is how it successfully finds equilibrium between precision and spontaneity, maintaining subject recognizability while adding artistic depth and emotional expression.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Oil Paint Texture: Enhances the thickness and layering of brushstrokes, giving the image more traditional painting qualities
  • Negative Space Technique: Reinforces the contrast between unfinished areas and detailed sections, adding breathing room and spatial depth
  • Emotional Rendering: Amplifies emotional expression through subtle color variations, enriching the overall atmosphere

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for high-end fashion magazine illustrations, emotional-themed book covers, art exhibition posters, boutique hotel artwork, and brand visual designs that need to convey elegance and artistic sensibility. It also works exceptionally well for creative projects exploring dreamlike, emotional, or introspective themes.

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
