What do Australians use to make dot art paintings?

Australians, particularly Indigenous artists, create dot art paintings using natural pigments and a variety of tools. Commonly, they use brushes made from sticks or plant fibers, as well as cotton swabs or the ends of paintbrushes to apply the dots. The pigments can be derived from minerals, plants, and other natural sources, giving the artwork vibrant colors. Dot art is a significant cultural expression, often telling stories and representing the artist's connection to land and heritage.
