When you first activate the Clone tool, notice that although your mouse cursor shows your current brush and the rubber stamp icon, there's also the circular No icon as well. If you try to paint in your image window with this mouse cursor, you get no results and the status area of the image window gives you a message that says “Set a source image first.” The typical usage for the Clone tool requires that you first select a sample target on your image or another GIMP layer. For this reason, the default Source in the Clone tool's Tool Options is set to the Image radio button. To set the source, Ctrl+click your drawable element. When you press Ctrl, your mouse cursor changes to crosshairs so you can more precisely select your desired source. Once you set your clone source, you can start painting.

Tip

Be mindful of the layer you're on when you set your clone source. GIMP's default behavior is to use as your source only the drawable element you Ctrl+click. If you want to use what's visible in your image, regardless of what layer was active when you set your source, enable the Sample Merged check box in the Tool Options dialog for the Clone tool. This treats your clone source as a location on your image and paints whatever is visible. This means you can maintain the same source location, but modify what's painted by hiding and showing different layers in your image.
