Figurative Oil Painting

Why are my oil paints thinning out when i allpy them to the canvas?
I started oil painting last year and did a few successful ones. Mostly figurative stuff and three portraits. They went very well and I had no trouble mixing the colors or applying the strokes. I started a painting last week and it went terribly! I would mix a color and it would get lighter when it went from pallet to canvas. (A red would go on pink, like the canvas was showing through) I can’t seem to apply the paint right and can’t control it. I used to use boiled linseed oil as my medium and now am using liquin. Could that be it? Please help!!!
Liquin is an alkyd based gel that adds transparency and flow to the oil paint, but unlike linseed oil, it accelerates the drying time of oil paint and leaves a matt finish…
