Possessive pronouns singular or plural

Yours look great. (referring to a lot of things for example, one's paintings)
Yours looks great.

Theirs look great.
Theirs looks great.

His look great.
His looks great.

Or does it mean that when you use possessive pronouns, you always have to use a singular verb even if you're referring to a lot of things.

Ex: Yours look great.
-Meaning: Your paintings look .

Thanks
