Question: Can I use Oil Paint with turpentine?to paint hey, I started with oils and I have mixed with 'Windsor and Newton water Oil Painting medium ', but the color is taking FOREVER to dry, I can mix Oil Paint with turpentine? and what would this combination work to do ...? thanks!
Answer: The problem may be that your colors are oil, and you will mix with water medium (!?) Oil and water do not mix. Turpentine or Turpenoid is "all" if I to paint with oil, the other stuff is too expensive and it takes a year to get really dry. The only thing is that you do not want silky Look at your picture get, like when you use linseed or other media mix, but the difference can be detected only by a museum expert, so I with turpentine oil, I water with acrylic or watercolor. You can see some of the results of my work here. Have fun and color away.
