Art Style Type

This SREF style clearly blends Post-Impressionist and Expressionist artistic characteristics, particularly reminiscent of Van Gogh's painting style. It belongs to these style categories because of its strong brushstroke textures, dynamic swirling lines, high-saturation color contrasts, and emotionally charged visual expression. The overall presentation creates a fusion of classical and modern artistic sensibilities.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristic of this SREF is its dynamic brushstroke textures and swirling background treatment. The color palette is bold yet harmonious, primarily using deep blue as the base tone, paired with warm yellows and oranges to create striking contrast. The lines have clear directionality and rhythm, as if the entire composition is gently flowing. This style is impressive because it can transform any subject into a poetic and emotionally rich artwork, maintaining the refinement of classical painting while incorporating the innovative expression of modern digital art.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • "swirling brushstrokes": Further enhances the dynamic quality and Van Gogh-esque signature brushwork effects
  • "impasto texture": Increases the oil painting-like heavy texture, making the work more three-dimensional and tactile
  • "starry night atmosphere": Creates a more intense nighttime ambiance, enhancing the overall romantic character

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for artistic poster design, literary illustration, music album covers, concept art for premium games, and any visual work that needs to express deep emotion or create a dreamlike atmosphere. It's also perfect for brand design projects that need to convey artistic taste and cultural depth.

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --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

As a beginner in MidJourney, I struggled to create the style of images I envisioned and felt lost with keyword usage. This led me to create this website for sref codes and examples with prompts, aimed at helping newcomers easily generate high-quality images and find joy in their creative process.
