It is believed Isabel McDonald studied under both Frederick McCubbin and Tom Roberts, powerhouses of Australian romanticism. Roberts was certainly known to her though, even if not as a teacher - he painted her portrait in 1895. After her marriage in 1901, Isabel ceased to paint, but she continued her craftwork, exhibiting a bookplate, carved box and copper jug in the 1907 Women's Work Exhibition.
