Ofcourse, turpentine.

Oil paint is a type of slow-drying paint that consists of particles of pigment suspended in a drying oil, commonly linseed oil. The viscosity of the paint may be modified by the addition of a solvent such as turpentine or white spirit, and varnish may be added to increase the glossiness of the dried oil paint film.

Turpentine, once the common solvent for oil paints, is rarely used, having been replaced by the White Spirit also known as mineral turpentine (AU/NZ) , turpentine substitute, petroleum spirits.

@All.

The right answer is PETROLEUM.

Turpentine is the traditional solvent used in oil painting. It's based on tree resin and has a fast evaporation rate.

It is both petroleum and turpentine.

Petroleum product Neptha also used as thinner/solvent in the oil paints.
