In painting turpentine and blended oils are used for different purposes:

1. Turpentine: In oil painting turpentine is used as a thinner and medium. It dilutes the pigment to make it easier to apply and dry while also affecting the gloss and transparency of the picture. Due to the volatile nature of turpentine it can make the surface of the painting dry faster making it easier for the artist to modify and adjust. However excessive use of turpentine can cause the pigment to flow too much and affect the stability of the work so careful control is required.

Turpentine can be used in painting to clean brushes. Due to the good solubility of turpentine it can effectively remove oil and impurities from oil paint and turpentine medium helping to keep the brush clean and prolong the life of the brush. However it is important to note that it is important to avoid over-washing when using turpentine to clean your brushes as too much turpentine may seep into the brushs fibers affecting its water absorption and durability. It is generally recommended to wash the brush promptly after painting rinse off most of the pigment with warm water then gently wipe it with turpentine and finally let it dry naturally. If the brush has not been washed for a long time it can be washed with mild detergent water first and then alternately with clean water and turpentine.
2. Blended oil: In painting blended oil often refers to blended oil (also known as the oil painting medium) which is a mixture specifically designed for use with oil paints and may contain flaxseed oil walnut oil or other vegetable oils. The main function of the blending oil is to increase the consistency of the pigment helping the pigment to adhere better to the canvas and also to adjust the drying speed and gloss of the painting. Different blended oils have different drying properties and artists can choose the right medium to achieve the desired effect.

In general turpentine and blended oils are used in painting to optimize the properties of pigments and help artists achieve their artistic intentions
