Please tell more about the rubber band perspective technique.

I'm not Yorky, but thought I would mention that Rod Webb demonstrates this technique here - I am on my kindle so I can't insert a link, but if you go to the Handbook section and look for the part called Watetcolor Articles, his post is in there. You will have to scroll down the page a bit to find it.

That is completely brilliant. To think of all the times I've been trying not to bump this end of the ruler while keeping the other end against a peg on the table...

Brilliant and so simple. Thanks for starting the topic, Tred, and thanks for the answer, reikiart!

[Rod]

Oh...I had completely forgotten about this technique! Thanks for the reminder!

[reikiart]

Thanks for adding the link, Doug!

Thanks for the link. This is the first time I have seen the rubber band technique - magic! I was aware of, and use, the Angle Transfer Tool.
I use a folding carpenters boxwood rule which, when folded fits into a pencil case.

You can use it for when buildings are below and above eye level, like looking down a street

And you can use two 30 cm / 6 inch metal rulers and for the angle finder

I have read in something about oil painting that instead of pencilling in the squares for a grid transfer method to get some fishing line and attach it to elastic....I thought why bother just use hat elastic. I figure that if hat elastic was tied to fit around your standard support size then you could use that and adjust up or down for the eye level - a few extras and you could grid as well
