" "The subject reports itself, it is never looked for. Afterwards a small drawing will follow for the color-planes which are determined immediately. These colors will be printed by large logs and updated and enlivened with the hand-roller. For pressing I use an old hand-press with lever (from c. 1800).. .Sometimes it is necessary to press heavily, other times only very light. Sometimes one half of the block is rolled in [with ink] bold, the other half only skimpy. By first printing sometimes the first layer of paint on a piece of paper, a gentle tint appears which is then printed on the original. Another time I print the first print of the paper back on the original.. .As soon as the color-planes have been applied, the first state is reached, so to say..
..Of course all kinds of side-steps can be made, while working. In case of enlivening the picture - both in terms of color or decoration - the main goal I always keep in mind.

version in original Dutch (origineel citaat van Hendrik Werkman, in het Nederlands): Vorige week maakten we een fietstocht langs korenvelden met de oogst gereed om binnen gehaald te worden. Hier en daar werd ze al binnen gehaald. Zwaar beladen wagens rolden huiswaarts en wat klinkt dat gezellig wanneer zo'n wagen achter je aanrijdt. . . En wat een vruchtboomen vol beladen met het rijpende fruit. Het is alles vol beloften en vol milde zachtheid. Zooals je zegt, het is de nazomersche melancholie.. ..ook kan men wenen om dit sterven overal op de velden, zonder genade.
