13. How are pictographs made? Some pictographs in Arkansas were made by "finger painting" while others appear to have been brush painted. Human hand images were made with paint-covered hands or by blowing paint around a hand pressed against a rock surface to create a stenciled effect. Paints were made by mixing ground-up pigments (such as hematite, magnetite, or charcoal) with an organic binder such as blood, animal fat, egg white, fish oil, or plant oil. Pitted stones used to grind mineral pigments were found at The Narrows, a rock art site in northwest Arkansas, and frayed twig brushes have been found at many other dry rock shelter sites.
