I know that people mix both turpentine and linseed oil with their paint (taken straight from the tube). But I haven't seen an explanation of why, or how it works. So, I have a few questions about this:
1. When and why should you mix turpentine or linseed oil with paint?
2. What do each of these actually do to the paint?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
