Andrew Donaldson was a Scottish landscape painter in oils and watercolours. He was born in Comber, near Belfast, and moved with his family to Glasgow. His father was a weaver, and Andrew turned to painting following an accident in a cotton mill. He established a studio in Glasgow, and one of his pupils was the important botanical illustrator, Walter Hood Fitch (1817-1892). Examples of Andrew Donaldson’s work can be found in the city of Glasgow art collections.
