While poppyseed oil does not leave the unwanted yellow tint for which linseed oil is known, it is much weaker in the test of time than the contemporary linseed oil.
Poppyseed oil should never be used for a ground layer of a painting, and one should avoid painting linseed oil over a layer of poppyseed oil; this will likely cause cracks and peeling as the upper layer dries first, making the "lean" layer vulnerable to contraction when the "fat" layer dries underneath it.

Linseed oil was one of the very first drying oils to be used in varnishing and has become the predominant oil for paint vehicles and mediums through the ages due to its superior balance of qualities.
Oils should be cleansed and purified of their mucilage to prevent discoloration with age.
Another method used by early painters to cleanse oil of its mucilage, was to wash it repeatedly with water (and sometimes pure white sand), letting it separate, and draining off the old water (and sand) with the mucilage.

Turpentine is an essential oil of the naturally-occurring terpene family, consisting principally of alpha-pinene.
Of course, these solvents, along with turpentine, are inadequate for paints that are not oil- or resin-based--typically the cellulose-derived materials known generically as lacquers (resins derived from plants and fossilized material).
However, the use of one or more of the noted oxidizing oils in a solvent formulation significantly reduces the toxicity and flammability of that formulation in that they are non-toxic and they have flash points that define them as non-combustible.
