How to remove unwanted spots from my watercolor painting

[ssas]

Hi everyone! Pls help a beginner. 

Am trying to remove spots from my watercolor painting that has was scanned in. I marked the unwanted spots in green in the pics.

When I use the clone tool, I'm getting these oranges colors (marked in purple) which is different from the creamy area I sampled. I have also tried the healing brush tool and remove blemishes tool with similar results.

 

Pls how can I do this?

Hi @ssas
 

When you use the clone tool, where have you set as the source? 

If you could post a copy of your afphoto file, we can take a close look.

Thanks, I selected the cream area by holding the ALT key before sampling. See attached. Thanks

Try using the Inpainting Brush Tool instead.

That works greatly! Thanks so much.
