Best Answer

Cavemen used to get juice from fruits and other plants. They used the juice like paint, and just painted on the walls. Coloured rocks and minerals were also used, such a haematite and calcite. The paintings themselves were probably done using hands and fingers or sticks. Some of the most amazing finds of art in caves are the outlines of hands, where the artist held paint in their mouth, placed their hand on the wall of the cave and blew the paint over their hand leaving the outline of their hand on the wall. All this was done by the light of small lamps.

Did the stone age people live in caves?

Answerpeople of the stone age mostly lived in caves because they were nomadic people meaning they moved a lot. AnswerClearly some Stone Age people lived in caves, and we can show this by the presence of artifacts in the caves. On the other hand, there are very few caves in much of the world, and nomads tend not to live in caves, but in tents. So we can be pretty sure that some Stone Age people did not live in caves, also. There is a link below to an article on nomads.
