Pigments were made for painting out of the juice of fruits and berries, the blood of animals and fish, and coloured mineral deposits that were found in solution in rivers & streams. Brushes as we know them hadn't been developed then, so the paintings were done with sticks, fingers, and sometimes wads of animal fur or hair soaked in the pigment.
