@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.

Turpentine, once the common solvent for oil paints, is rarely used, having been replaced by the White Spirit also known as mineral turpentine (AU/NZ) , turpentine substitute, petroleum spirits.

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.
