It’s not completely transparent. My oils are bonded into the beeswax surface. They retain their brilliance, and should be fine for durations since beeswax has the best preservation qualities.

Encaustic on collage of antique ephemera.

I like the way my original composition gets destroyed by heat in pleasing ways. Try coating a panel with beeswax/damar. Do a layout drawing in transparent red. Then heat that over lightly to fuse it in. Color in with oils then fuse in again (outdoors, with protection from the fumes).
