I want to use Views to create a custom layout for individual nodes. (In other words, clicking on a node teaser would send users to my custom layout instead of the default node layout.) I used to know this, but it has been years since touching Drupal.

Currently, I have an Article view (block and page) that is supposed to have a path of node/nid. However, when I select a node teaser, the default Drupal full node layout is displayed, rather than my custom full node view.

Can anyone provide assistance or a link to such information?

while views can be utilized to do such a thing its not what it was intended for. I suggest using something more inline with the intent such as display suite.

I think VM said it correctly. Views are not the ideal way to do what you are trying to do. You can use display suite, or alternatively for more flexibility and drag/drop, you can use panelizer https://www.drupal.org/project/panelizer

I've found DS to be the perfect solution.
