Mixing Paint vs Buying colors you want

Question is there a downside to buying the colors you want instead of learning how to mix them? Last time I painted I got stuck because I couldn't mix the colors I wanted to use and gave up. This time around I just want to paint without trouble but I don't want to create shortcuts if every painter viewed mixing as an essential skill? Just wondering. It's also considerably cheaper to get the Winsor Paint Sets with a lot of different colors than the Gamblin 37 mL set so I'm just wondering.

I Also do plan to paint paintings with the beautiful neon and vibrant colors as well bc my style is contemporary/abstract. It's not just landscapes and portraits so yeah

Critique please

It’s not exact as the ref pic so don’t expect 100% exact. I’m not sure if I’m done….i think I’m done….but again in a few weeks might be different as we all do and say 😆
