Answer:
Prehistoric painters used the pigments available in the vicinity. These pigments were the so-called earth pigments, (minerals limonite and hematite, red ochre, yellow ochre and umber), charcoal from the fire (carbon black), burnt bones (bone black) and white from grounded calcite (lime white).

Explanation:
The problem is that, in the study of cave art, archaeologists have spent a lot of time trying to interpret the art, but many seem to disregard the paints because the assumption was that they are easy to analyse and understand.
If that were true it still left another question: Where did they get their materials from?
The people had to have used the things around them especially the minerals and rocks.
Recent archaeological work has uncovered some of the tools these people used. One notable find is a shell (in this case an abalone shell) used to hold the pigment and a quartzite stone for grinding up the pigments like charcoal and ochre (Figure 2), and for the paint brush the artist used one of the thin bones from the front leg of a wolf with one end dipped in ochre.
