Quotation

Oock konnen door de Water-Verwen aerdige en fraye dingen gemaeckt worden, soo wel van die gene welckmen selfs Inventeert, Teyckent, Copyeert, ofte na het leven volght, als Opgedruckte Papiere Print-Konst:

[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] With the Water-Colours one can make some nice and beautiful things, both of the kind that one invents himself, draws, copies, or follows after the life, and Printed Paper Art of Print:

The introduction to the English translation does not follow the text of the original. [MO]

Quotation

En hoewelmen de dieren teekenen kan, dat is, met dag en schaduwe aanwijsen, of nader met krijonnen, of waterverwen vertegenwoordigen, zoo is ‘er nogtans niet leevendiger en duirsamer, te gelijk; als dat zulx door olyverwen geschiet.

[translation: BEURS, en préparation, transl. Myra Scholz:] And although animals can be drawn—that is, depicted just with light and shadow, or in a more detailed way with crayons or water colors—there is nevertheless no more lifelike, and at the same time more durable way to portray them than with oil paints.
