Collage on Birch Panel
At times the surface of the panel or the underpainting isn't appropriate for encaustic medium.
I use acrylic medium or archival book binding glue instead.

I use magazines of various quality and many papers may not be acid free which means colours can fade or yellow in time.
When I don't use encaustic medium (which protects against UV damage) I use archival book binding glue or acrylic medium and for the past few months I've also added about 6-8 coats of archival varnish.
