Paper, while a solid material, is absorbent. It will absorb water, so it becomes transparent until it dries. Oil is a liquid that paper will absorb, only the oil does not dry in the paper. Therefore, the paper remains transparent until the oil dries. It is the same principle that secret letters are written an sent. A material that dries transparent on paper will be visible under light.
