Solvent based paint will use a special thinner, and generally be smellier till it dries. Water based paint needs no special thinner and is not smelly.

Oil paint, pastels, color woodcuts.
Varsol, oil thinner, turps, lacquer thinner, xylene, and many others.
Yes, water makes it creamier, just oil wouldn't color anything.
In the past oil paints referred to either petroleum based paints or linseed based paints. Today in the USA petroleum based paints are no longer sold and it is difficult to find linseed based paints though they do exist with a small proportion of linseed oil. Alkyd paints are made with synthetic oil and are readily available and have come to be known as "oil" paint.
No, that is not their intended use.
There are two main types of paint in common use: water based and oil based. The water based paints contain various substances including latex that are dissolved or suspended in the water. Oil base paints contain resins dissolved or suspended in oil, typically linseed oil. So, not every paint uses water as a carrier.

Paints use either some type of oil or plain water as their solvent. Paints using water don't produce the air pollution that paints using oil do.

Oil is the answer K Oil is the answer K
Unfortunately combining oil and water in paint always results in disaster. Oil based paints must be thinned with solvent. Brushes used to paint oil based paints also need to be cleaned with solvent.
Oil-based paints use oil as a binder, while latex-based paints use water. Oil-based paints are more durable and provide a smoother finish, but they take longer to dry and have a strong odor. Latex-based paints dry faster, are easier to clean up with water, and have less odor, but may not be as durable as oil-based paints.

Water paints are more often called water colours when talking about art, and water-based paints when decorating the home. It simply means the liquid in them is water, rather than something oil based.
I just rub them over with a warm soapy cloth.
