What are these Oil Painting Stuff?

what is stuff like...solvents and mediums???????What are these Oil Painting Stuff?
well there are different kinds of mediums...you mix them in with the paint to make the paint not as thick and different mediums help the oil paint dry faster or give it a matt or gloss finish. basically it helps the paint go on the canvas smoother and makes your paint go further. Sometimes i dont use a medium and just lay the paint on thick. it all really depends on the look you are trying to achieve. Solvents like paint thinner or terpentine are used to take the paint off so its usually used to clean brushes and things like that
