re:  Good outdoor surface for painting an analemmatic dial

I am helping a local school make a "human" sundial, i.e. an analemmatic one, 
and the school is enthusiastic about the idea.  (My daughter is a pupil at that 
school.)  I have been liaising with the art teacher, and the suggestion is that 
one or more students studying art would mark out the layout of the dial on the 
tarmac/asphalt ground, and then paint on it.    So both a scientific and 
artistic project.

The difficulty we face is that the tarmac/asphalt surface is quite grainy and 
not good to paint on.  Do you have any advice on how to get a good smooth 
outdoor surface to paint on (and we want the surface to retain the paint) ?  

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Gerard
