Oil paint dissolves in turpentine.
No. Because of the confusion between turpentine, mineral turpentine, mineral spirits and mineral oil, I have included links to all of these substances. All of the above except mineral oil are toxic if one drinks them. Turpentine is the only one that is not a petroleum distillate. Mineral oil as sold in a pharmacy is for constipation and to be used as directed. See related links.
Turpentine is a mixture of hydrocarbons just like kerosene oil it contains hydrocarbons having carbon atoms 11 to 20 or more
Mineral turpentine oil is typically produced through a distillation process of petroleum. Crude oil is refined and then further processed to create a solvent that is widely used in paint thinners, cleaning products, and as a solvent in various industries. The final product is a clear, transparent liquid with a characteristic odor.
No, iodine is not soluble in turpentine. Turpentine is a non-polar solvent, while iodine is a polar substance. To dissolve iodine, a polar solvent like alcohol or water is needed.

Turpentine is a spirit obtained by the distillation of resin obtained from live trees, mainly pines.It's commonly called turps, turps is a solvent and can help soften dried oil based paints, more turps would then be used to wipe the paint clean.Turps would not be used to remove water based paints.
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 Spirits & Turpentine
Yes, it is.
Paint is pigment (powder that gives the paint color) and binder (the thick stuff that holds the pigment together). The painter thins the paint down with a solvent (water, in the case of acrylics, turpentine in the case of oils--Adding gel medium or linseed oil acts as extenders. Different issue.) to the consistency of his/her liking. So, the answer to "Why is acrylic painting thick?" is ... because the painter wanted it that way.
