How do you separate salt and sugar?
If we put either (or both, in this case) in water, they both dissolve. But what if we use another solvent that will only dissolve one of the substances? If you can get a small quantity of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), you can conduct a revealing experiment wherein you will see that it dissolves one substance, but not the other. If you have a solvent that will dissolve one and not the other, you can "wash" the insoluble substance in that solvent and it will carry off the soluble one, which you can recover by evaporation of the solvent. Pouring the solvent into the mixture, mixing gently for a short while, and then pouring the whole thing through, say, a coffee filter, should separate the two substances.

Safflower oil is used to dilute oil paint and is the base for many oil paints, but is not a solvent. A solvent dissolves the paint completely. Adding more oil to oil paint will only thin the color out into the solution. To dissolve oil paint use a odorless thinner available through art supply stores or turpentine (preferably odorless, a lot of people have a bad reaction to turpentine).
