Testing some new paints Sabotaz 80

Testing out new paints today Sabotaz 80 on a new painting called sweet memory.
These paints are not for painting in doors unless you are in a well ventilated area. For this reason I prefer the Liquitex spray paints. I bought these only because they were half the price and had some really vivid colours but I won't work with them in the house again. Way too smelly. Another thing I didn't like about them is even after shaking the can for at least 3 minutes the first spray comes out globby and sticky without any paint. So I need to make sure that I spray them for at least 2 mins on to a test board. I can see the areas that left streaky globby marks and I tried to scrape them off but they still show. I will add some textured mediums to this later once it dries.
So here is the painting so far. I do love the colours but I probably won't buy them again.
