[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] {Charcoal to draw and its use.} It is the general custom to use charcoal for the initial draft and composition of one’s Drawing, especially for the Pupils, as it is of great use for the Youth, Yes even for the Masters, whether or not they are steady in the Art of Drawing; Because all that one has done with it, which is not according to our liking, can be erased several times, and done again. Some also use the Pencil to make their drafts and initial compositions, on top of which they can then make a firm and clear contour with the Writing-Pen or any other durable Crayon, with closer observation.

In this section Goeree explicitly discusses which choice of drawing material is best for each stage of the drawing process. [MO]
