Can you mix oil paint with olive oil?

Is that safe?Can you mix oil paint with olive oil?
Hi,





Well, it's not against the law, but you should not do it.


It won't dry properly and will become rancid.


Use the proper materials with your paintings.





Kind regards,

Yes you can and it does help thinning and smoothing it down if that is what you want!


It might slow down the trying progress just a bit but not much


It is said that linseed oil is better but I'm a painter and have been doing it with olive oil for quite some while and think it's just fine:)
It is safe, but please, don't do that. Without further explanation.

Yes. But why would you want to? That would slow down the dry time quite a bit, and give you quite a bit of cracking if you add another layer on top of it.
