Hi Becky- you could go in with a barely wet brush and lift some of the color where it is splotchy. Keep putting the color you are lifting with the brush onto a paper towel (something absorbent) and continue alternating lifting the color and putting it on the paper towel. Sometimes, when the paper is very dry you can erase watercolor. Warning! The paper has to be totally dry and you can not rub hard. Also, if you are going o be putting color pencil on top of the watercolor to finish the drawing, you could use a white or ivory pencil to go over the splotchy area to smooth it out. You can then add whatever green color(s) you were going to use for the leaf. Make a test page and try these different techniques to see which one(s) you like before experimenting on this drawing.
