Inicio muy aguarrasado
Al empezar a pintar al óleo, lo ideal es aplicarlo muy aguarrasado y después incorporar los empastes. Los colores son suficientemente densos e intensos como para trabajarlos líquidos con toda su potencia, especialmente los oscuros. Por eso es lógico empezar con una aplicación de la pintura oscura y diluida y terminar con los empastes más claros

7 hrs confidence: |
| white spirit/solvent
Explanation:
Genuine turpentine, which used to be used as a solvent for paints, is a pine resin extract and is not now normally used outside oil painting. White spirit, a petyrochemical solvent, is now used almost universally. This is what you'll get if you ask for aguaras in a paint shop.
