The Australian Aborigines used twigs, fibres and fingers for painting to get different strokes.

They obtained their colours from the natural environment. They ground ochre to powder, mixed various clays, used natural plant colourings, collected pebbles which contained minerals for colouring, used charcoal and ashes from their fires, and even added blood, at times. Tree bark, crushed shells and blood also gave variety of colour. The availability of some colours are peculiar to the area that the artist finds himself in.

These paint bases were mixed with fluids such as saliva, blood, tree sap or yolk of various birds' eggs to help them adhere.
