I agree, to use a soft cloth the next day, which helps remove impurities from the wax, rising to the surface. I have achieved a clear effect with one coat of wax. But it is not clear and shiny like resin. Yes, that is the beauty of encaustic and using wax, for an ethereal, soft, sometimes cloudy effect. Natural, not synthetic

Yes, I glued the photo to the panel with Yes Paste, allowed it to adhere for 24 hours, weighted down. I use matte photographic prints so that the wax will fuse to the paper and panel beneath. Does this help? Thank you!

I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment. I learned from 2 encaustic masters that damar was not necessary and in my findings over the past 15 years, my ironed encaustic pieces on panel and watercolor paper have stayed true to color and have not cracked. The purges using damar or carnauba have all discolored and cracked. I hope this helps☺️

@@PennyTreeseFineArtist tell your 2 encaustic masters, damar is part of the medium, damar works like a binder and make strong the medium, with out the damar cristal, the bees wax is soft, and with the time, start to break a part, for sure if you use that to add just to the picture surface, will not a really real example what encaustic Art work means..
encaustic medium NEVER ,dry clear, it is not like resin at all, and it is the best property of wax, when more thick is the wax layer, more cloudy is the surface.
I like the cloudy effect on some pieces. Others, I achieve a clear, translucent and almost transparent look when the wax is applied in a thin coat then ironed to fuse. Thank you for replying! ☺️

Hi! You said the wax would become clear .. what process do you use for that? Just time? I think my experiments stay cloudy. Thanks!
Wait at least a day after the wax has hardened, then rub it lightly with a soft cotton cloth, such as an old T shirt, to eliminate the cloudiness.

Where’s the photo? Did you glue it down before the vid?
