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.
Mineral turpentine is a petroleum-based solvent used for thinning oil-based paints and cleaning brushes, while turpentine essence is a natural solvent extracted from pine trees and commonly used in painting and as a solvent in varnishes. Turpentine essence has a stronger odor and may be more irritating to the skin compared to mineral turpentine.
A painter may use turpentine to remove paint because it is a solvent that can break down and dissolve dried paint, making it easier to remove from surfaces or brushes. Turpentine can help clean up mistakes, spills, or excess paint during the painting process.
