Like oil paint, water colors, linseed oil, turpenoid?

My mom found an art set she got me when i was really young and realized it was too advanced for me. I'm not feeling so hot, so instead of just sitting around tonight, I'd really like to use it, and i tried mixing up some of the paint, linseed oil and turpenoid. It really stinks, and I can't tell if it's still okay or not. And google hasn't been much help.

Everyting was sealed up/closed up, and it was inside for all these years (stored in the master bedroom somewhere). She found it when we were moving to our new house.

how young is really young?

go ahead and mix it up and see, it doesn't sound like you're gonna lose much if it doesn't but you can try to use a little paint thinner to thin it out if it's too thick.

what're you gonna paint?

tits actually sound like a good idea.

i'm thinkin young means a kid. i've been into art since...well as long as i can remember.

i've never used oils before, and since the oils and stuff were stinky, and 3 of those tubes had a crack/leaked a bit (just noticed that). but i'm painting w/the water colors right now. i'm so freakin psyched. i want to go to jerry's, or somewhere like that, for more paint and paper, or canvases.

painting is awesome, even though i suck at it.
