Quotation

Dewijle dat sommighe Verwen nootsaeckelijck vet moeten Gegomt wesen, en andere wederom mager, oock eenige sonder die; soo moetmen in ’t Natmaecken en temperen der selve, sorge dragen dat hier in de mate behouden worde, volghens dat de nature der Verwe lijden mach: gelijck daer dan is de Meny, de Masticot, Brezilje Verwe, Fermilioen, en oock den Ascus konnen wel stercke Gomme verdragen, maer alle de andere Verwen moghen wel met wat mager Gom-water ghetempert zijn. ’t Geen men tot Carnatie ofte Lijf-Verwe in de Naeckten wil ghebruycken, temperen sommige met Lijm-water; dan dese wil wel wat warm verbesicht werden.

[suggested translation, Marije Osnabrugge:] While some Colours are necessarily gummed greasy, and others thinly, some without it; as such one should pay attention, in wetting and mixing, to maintain the level that is necessary for the nature of the Paint: as there are Minium, Massicot, Brasil, Vermilion and also Ascus that can take strong Gum, but all other Paints are better mixed with some thin Gum-Water. Which one wants to apply to the Carnation or Skin-colour in the Nudes, mixing some with Glue-Water; than this is used a bit warmed up.
