In art what is the difference between turpentine and paint thinner?
Turpentine is a natural product used in combination with oils to thin oil paints and "straight up" to clean brushes etc. Paint thinner is not generally as clean a product and I would only use it as a cleaner however I know some people that do use it for thinning paint (commercial oil base house paint) but not for fine art applications.
Does linseed oil damage paint?
Linseed oil does not damage paint. Linseed oil is used along with turpentine in oil paints as a type of paint thinner. Linseed oil extends the life of oil paint, makes it easier to thin out, control the paint and paint layers.

How do you use turpintine in a sentence?
I accidentally spilled turpentine on my painting, causing the colors to smudge. The painter used turpentine to thin the oil paint and create a transparent glaze effect. The strong smell of turpentine lingered in the art studio after cleaning the brushes.
Can safflower oil be used as a paint solvent?
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). Safflower oil will work if you want to thin the paint but will not clean your brushes.

Should you thin oil based paint?
Normally there is no need to thin oil based paint if you are applying it with a brush. If the oil based paint is old, it may have thickened over time and in that case you can thin it until it is at a consistancy which is easy to brush and gives good coverage. If you are spraying the paint you may want to thin it so it sprays easier from the gun. Thin then test and do it agoin until it sprays evenly from the gun. Normall "oil based" paints when thinned are with paint thinner. However always read the label on the paint for any instructions concerning thinning.
