Jackson Pollock’s painting Full Fathom Five (1947) contains cigarettes, nails, buttons, and other small objects beneath layers of paint. The cigarettes became part of the canvas surface; they were not used as brushes. Pollock applied the underlayers with a brush and palette knife, then added paint by dripping it.
